OET (OET-RV) Gilead’s wife also gave birth to sons for him, and when those sons of the wife grew up, they drove Yiftah out and told him, “You won’t get any inheritance from our father’s estate because you’re a son of another woman.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_gave_birth wife_of Gilˊād's to=him/it sons and,they_grew_up sons_of the=woman and,they_drove_out DOM Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) and=they_said to=him/it not inherit in=house_of our_father_of,our that/for/because/then/when son_of woman/wife another you(ms) )
The author does not say specifically whether Gilead became the father of Jephthah before or after he was married. However, the story seems to suggest that it was before and that Jephthah was somewhat older than his half-brothers, since they had to wait until they grew up to drive him away from the family. Your language may have a connecting phrase that you can use to indicate this. Alternate translation: [Later, when Gilead had a wife, she bore sons to him]

וַיְגָרְשׁ֣וּ אֶת־יִפְתָּ֗ח וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ לוֹ֙ לֹֽא־תִנְחַ֣ל בְּבֵית־אָבִ֔ינוּ כִּ֛י בֶּן־אִשָּׁ֥ה אַחֶ֖רֶת אָֽתָּה
and,they_drove_out DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_gave_birth wife_of Gilˊād's to=him/it sons and,they_grew_up sons_of the=woman and,they_drove_out DOM Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) and=they_said to=him/it not inherit in=house_of our_father_of,our that/for/because/then/when son_of woman/wife another you(ms) )
Since the sons of the wife said this to Jephthah before they drove him out, in your translation you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [and they said to Jephthah, “You will not inherit in the house of our father, for you are the son of another woman.” And they drove him out]

Here, house represents the family of Gilead. (He may have died by this point, since it appears that Jephthah was a member of the household while he was alive.) Alternate translation: [as if you were a proper member of family]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
בְּבֵית־אָבִ֔ינוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_gave_birth wife_of Gilˊād's to=him/it sons and,they_grew_up sons_of the=woman and,they_drove_out DOM Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) and=they_said to=him/it not inherit in=house_of our_father_of,our that/for/because/then/when son_of woman/wife another you(ms) )
Gilead was the father of Jephthah and his half-brothers, so it may be natural for you to use the inclusive form of our if your language marks that distinction. However, since the half-brothers are describing the house of our father to Jephthah as something that he has no place in, some languages, considering the entire phrase, might use the exclusive form.

OET (OET-RV) Gilead’s wife also gave birth to sons for him, and when those sons of the wife grew up, they drove Yiftah out and told him, “You won’t get any inheritance from our father’s estate because you’re a son of another woman.”
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.
