OET (OET-RV) Esaw had married two local women from the Canaan region: Adah (the Hittite Elon’s daughter) and Oholibamah (Anah’s daughter and granddaughter of the Hivite Zibeon)
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עֵשָׂ֛ו לָקַ֥ח אֶת נָשָׁ֖יו מִבְּנ֣וֹת כְּנָ֑עַן
ˊĒsāv he/it_had_taken DOM wives,his from,women Kenaan
Only the first two wives mentioned in this chapter were Canaanites; see the comment about Basemath at verse 3. The Canaanites were the descendants of Noah’s grandson Canaan (Ham’s son) and included the Hittites and Hivites (verse 2; Genesis 10:15-18) and several other people groups. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Esau had chosen two of his wives from among the Canaanite women:” or “Esau had married two women who were descendants of Canaan”
אֶת עָדָ֗ה
DOM DOM ˊĀdāh
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “whose names were Adah,”
Note 2 topic: translate-names
בַּת אֵילוֹן֙ הַֽחִתִּ֔י
daughter_of Elon the,Hittite
Make sure your translation does not sound like Elon was the only Hittite. See how you translated “Hittites” in Gen 27:46. Alternate translation: “whose father was Elon, who was a descendant of Heth,” or “the daughter of a man named Elon, who was a member of the Heth people group,”
וְאֶת אָהֳלִֽיבָמָה֙
and=DOM ʼĀhₑlīⱱāmāh
Notice that the names of Esau’s two Canaanite wives here are different from the names of his wives mentioned in Gen 26:34. It could be that they each had two names, or these may be different wives that he married later. Alternate translation: “and also Oholibamah,” or “as well as Oholibamah,”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
בַּת עֲנָ֔ה בַּת
daughter_of daughter_of ˊₐnāh daughter_of
Notice that Elon, Anah, and Zibeon are the names of men here, not women.
Note 4 topic: translate-names
צִבְע֖וֹן הַֽחִוִּֽי
Tsiⱱˊōn/(Zibeon) the=Hivvi
Make sure that your translation of this phrase does not sound like Zibeon was the only Hivite. Consider again how you translated “Hivites” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 10:17; 34:2; 36:2. Alternate translation: “Zibeon who was a descendant of Hivi.” or “Zibeon who was a member of the Hivi people group.”
36:2 Oholibamah was a great-granddaughter of Seir the Horite, whose descendants lived in Edom when Esau went to live there (36:20, 25).

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.
