OET (OET-LV)The_name the_one [is]_Pishon it the_(one)_going_around DOM all the_land the_Ḩₐvīlāh where [is]_there the_gold.

OET (OET-RV)The first river was named Pishon, and it winds around through the entire region of Havilah, where there’s gold.

uW Translation Notes:

שֵׁ֥ם הָֽ⁠אֶחָ֖ד

name_of the=one

Most translations use past tense in verse 10, but then use present tense throughout verses 11-14. It may be best to use past tense throughout verses 10-14, especially since the rivers and places that are named in these verses no longer existed when Genesis was written, because the Flood completely changed the entire surface of the earth; after the Flood, the names of some of those rivers and places were given to new rivers and places. Alternate translation: “The name of the first river is” or “The first river is named” or “The first river is”

Note 1 topic: translate-names

פִּישׁ֑וֹן

Pishon

Consider whether or not it is natural in your language to use the article (the) with the name of a river.

ה֣וּא הַ⁠סֹּבֵ֗ב

he/it the=(one)_going_around

The word winds or “meanders” means that the river changed direction from time to time. Consider whether it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here or to continue the previous sentence. Alternate translation: “It meanders through” or “which flows around through”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

אֵ֚ת כָּל אֶ֣רֶץ הַֽ⁠חֲוִילָ֔ה

DOM all/each/any/every earth/land the=Ḩₐvīlāh

Be consistent in how you translate land of throughout this section. Alternate translation: “the whole region called Havilah,”

אֲשֶׁר שָׁ֖ם הַ⁠זָּהָֽב

which/who there the=gold

Alternate translation: “a place where there is much gold.” or “which has a lot of gold.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:11 The Pishon and the Gihon (2:13) cannot be identified with certainty. If the land of Havilah was in southeast Arabia or on the African coast, as some biblical data suggest (see 10:7; 25:18; 1 Sam 15:7), then the Pishon was possibly the Nile River. Josephus thought that Havilah and the Pishon were in India (Antiquities 1.1.3). Two other proposals suggest: (1) rivers in the mountains of eastern Turkey where the Tigris and Euphrates (Gen 2:14) also flow, and (2) the marshy delta near the Persian Gulf. Current geographical conditions make any theory impossible to prove conclusively.
