OET (OET-RV) Take in seven male and female pairs of every kind of ‘clean’ animal, and one male and female pair of the ‘unclean’ animals,

It may be necessary to include a footnote that explains the concept of clean and unclean animals: In the Bible a clean animal was an animal that was acceptable to be sacrificed to God or to be eaten, and an “unclean animal” was one that could not be sacrificed or eaten; it does not refer to how clean the animal was physically. Later Moses wrote down the laws about clean and unclean animals in the book of Leviticus. Alternate translation: “From every kind of pure animal” or “From every kind of animal that is acceptable to sacrifice”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
תִּֽקַּח לְךָ֛
take to/for=yourself(m)
The pronoun you is singular in the Hebrew text, but could be translated as a plural to include Noah’s family. Alternate translation: “bring with you”
שִׁבְעָ֥ה שִׁבְעָ֖ה אִ֣ישׁ וְאִשְׁתּ֑וֹ
seven seven (a)_man and=his/its=woman/wife
See how you translated “male and female” in Gen 6:19.
וּמִן הַבְּהֵמָ֡ה אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹ֣א טְהֹרָ֥ה
and=from the=cattle/livestock which/who not clean
Alternate translation: “and from every kind of impure animal” or “and from every kind of animal that is not acceptable to sacrifice”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
שְׁנַ֖יִם אִ֥ישׁ וְאִשְׁתּֽוֹ

For some languages it may be better to change the order of the phrases in this sentence and say, “Take with you seven male and female pairs of every kind of clean/pure animal, and one male and female pair of every kind of unclean/impure animal,” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “take a male and female pair,”
7:2 of each animal I have approved: In addition to the animals that were to repopulate the earth, these “clean” animals were for food and for Noah’s sacrifice after the flood (8:20-21). This passage does not use the precise technical language that is found in the regulations concerning “clean” and “unclean” given to Israel at Sinai (see Lev 11; Deut 14:3-12), but the underlying concept is the same (perhaps God revealed it directly to Noah).

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.
