⇔ ≈and the donkey’s colt to the best branch.

49:11 This likely suggests such a surplus of fruit that it doesn’t even matter what the animals eat.

אֹסְרִ֤י
binding
In verse 11, the pronouns “he” and his refer to Judah and his descendants. To make that clear, you could make that explicit here and then use plural pronouns “they” and “their” throughout the verse. Or if you are using the second person throughout this section, you could say, “You and your descendants …” and use plural pronouns “you” and “your” after that. Alternate translation: “Judah and his descendants”

binding to_the,vine (Some words not found in UHB: binding to_the,vine donkey,his and,to_the,choice_vine colt donkey's,his washes in/on/at/with,wine garments,his and,in/on/at/with,blood grapes robes,his )
In Jacob’s culture grapevines were valuable plants, so unless a person was very rich, he would never tether a donkey to his grapevines because it would eat the fruit and the vines. If necessary, you could make some of that information explicit in your translation. Alternate translation: “will be so wealthy that they will tie their donkeys to your grapevines to eat the valuable fruit.” or “let your donkeys eat your valuable grapevines.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וְלַשֹּׂרֵקָ֖ה בְּנִ֣י אֲתֹנ֑וֹ
and,to_the,choice_vine colt donkey's,his
This clause forms a parallelism with the previous one to emphasize how wealthy Judah and his descendants will be.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כִּבֵּ֤ס בַּיַּ֨יִן֙ לְבֻשׁ֔וֹ וּבְדַם עֲנָבִ֖ים סוּתֽוֹ
washes in/on/at/with,wine garments,his and,in/on/at/with,blood grapes (Some words not found in UHB: binding to_the,vine donkey,his and,to_the,choice_vine colt donkey's,his washes in/on/at/with,wine garments,his and,in/on/at/with,blood grapes robes,his )
This sentence is another parallelism that emphasizes how wealthy Judah and his descendants will be. The phrase blood of grapes is an idiom that refers to red wine made from the juice of grapes. Alternate translation: “They will still have so much wine from other vines that you could even use the wine like water to wash your robes and other clothes.”
49:1-28 Jacob, by faith and as God’s spokesman, looked forward to Israel’s settlement in the land, and beyond that to the glorious future. Here at the end of the patriarchal age, he foretold what would happen to each tribe as he evaluated his sons one by one, just as Noah had done at the end of the primeval era (cp. 9:25-27). The character and acts of each ancestor affected the lives of his descendants (Exod 20:5-6; 34:6-7; Num 14:18; Jer 32:18).

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.
