OET (OET-RV) Then Yiftah assembled all of the men of Gilead and they battled against Efraim. The men of Gilead struck Efraim because they had said, “You Gilead people are just fugitives from Efraim—living here in the middle of Efraim, in the middle of Manashsheh.”

If it would be more natural in your language, you could put the last clause first in the verse, since it gives the reason for the actions that the other clauses describe. Alternate translation: [Then the men of Ephraim said, ‘You, Gilead, are fugitives of Ephraim in the midst of Ephraim, in the midst of Manasseh.’ For that, Jephthah assembled all of the men of Gilead and fought with Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck Ephraim.]

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: all the men of Gilead
(Some words not found in UHB: and,gathered Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) DOM all/each/any/every men_of Gilˊād and,fought DOM Efrayim and,defeated men_of Gilˊād DOM ʼEfrayim that/for/because/then/when said fugitives ʼEfrayim you_all Gilˊādites in_the=middle ʼEfrayim in_the=middle Mənashsheh )
The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. Alternate translation: [his entire Gileadite army]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
אָמְרוּ֙
said
Since the referent for they might be unclear, you could state it explicitly. Alternate translation: [the Ephraimites had said]

בְּת֥וֹךְ אֶפְרַ֖יִם בְּת֥וֹךְ מְנַשֶּֽׁה
in_the=middle ʼEfrayim in_the=middle Mənashsheh
The people of this culture commonly used the expression in the midst of … in the midst of to mean “in between.” The Ephraimites from the west side of the Jordan River are insulting the Gileadites by suggesting they are fugitives with no permanent territory. Alternate translation: [who live between Ephraim and Manasseh]
12:4 It is unclear why the people of Ephraim were taunting the men of Gilead. Perhaps they resented or looked down on the Israelites who lived east of the Jordan River.

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.
