See how you translated giving birth in Genesis 35:16. This may need to be translated differently here because of the different context. Alternate translation: [As she was starting to deliver her babies]

The midwife did this because it was her responsibility to identify which baby was the firstborn. See how you translated midwife in Genesis 35:17. Alternate translation: [Then the midwife who was there tied a bright red thread on his wrist and said] or [So the midwife who was helping her …]

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