OET (OET-RV) but Yacob travelled to Succot where he built a house for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That’s why he named the place ‘Succot’ (which means ‘shelters’).

וְיַעֲקֹב֙ נָסַ֣ע סֻכֹּ֔תָה
and,Jacob journeyed Succoth,to
Jacob went northwest to Succoth, instead of going south to the region of Seir as he had said he would do (verse 14). Also see how you translated “travel” in verse 12. Alternate translation: “But Jacob went to the town of Succoth instead,” or “Meanwhile, instead of going to Seir, Jacob and his family went to the town of Succoth,”
וַיִּ֥בֶן ל֖וֹ בָּ֑יִת
and=he/it_built to=him/it house
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “There he and his servants built a house for himself and his family” or “where he and his men built a house for his family”
וּלְמִקְנֵ֨הוּ֙ עָשָׂ֣ה סֻכֹּ֔ת
and,for,livestock,his he/it_had_made shelters
The term livestock is general here and includes all of Jacob’s animals. Alternate translation: “and they also built some shelters for his livestock” or “and shelters for his animals.”

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so
See how you translated this phrase in Gen 32:32. Alternate translation: “Because of that,”

he/it_called name_of the,place Şuⱪōt
The phrase “he/they called” could refer to Jacob, or it could refer to people in general (as it often does in Genesis). If you include the meaning of the name Succoth in your translation or in a footnote, make sure it matches the way you translate shelters earlier in this verse.
33:1-17 Jacob’s long-anticipated meeting with his brother Esau turned out far better than he had feared. Esau’s changed heart is an example of how “God fights” (See 32:28). Earlier, he had cared little about the birthright (25:32-34); now he cared little for old grudges. Jacob recognized that God had intervened.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
