OET (OET-RV) Then Yehudah said to Onan, “Go to your brother’s wife and perform your brotherly duty to her to produce children for your brother.”

The Israelites practiced the custom of Levirate marriage, which meant that if a man died without any children, it was his oldest brother’s duty to marry his widow so that together they could have a son who would carry on the deceased man’s family line and inherit his estate (See: Deuteronomy 25:5-6). You could put some of that information in a footnote.
וְיַבֵּ֣ם אֹתָ֑הּ
and,perform_the_duty_of_a_brother-in-law DOM=her/it
Alternate translation: “so that you fulfill your duty to her as her brother-in-law”
וְהָקֵ֥ם זֶ֖רַע
and,raise_up seed/offspring
Alternate translation: “and produce children with her”
לְאָחִֽיךָ
for,brother,your
Alternate translation: “to carry on the name of your brother Er.”
38:8 as our law requires. . . . You must produce an heir for your brother: The custom that informs this episode is the law for levirate marriage (Latin levir, “husband’s brother”). By this custom, which was later incorporated into God’s law for Israel (Deut 25:5-10), if a man died childless, his brother or nearest relative would marry his widow to produce a child who would carry on the family name of the deceased and inherit his property. Apparently, the near kinsman had a right to refuse, but he would be disgraced in the family for refusing to perpetuate his brother’s name.

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.
