The author assumes that his readers will understand that he is referring to the tribe of Dan as a clan because it was a small tribe. He also uses the term “clan” elsewhere in the book, but sometimes he also uses the term tribe. Alternate translation: “from the tribe of Dan”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
the Danite
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was (a)_man one(ms) of,Zorah from,tribe the,Danites and=his/its=name Mānōaḩ and=his/its=woman/wife infertile and=not had_~_children )
The author is using a singular noun to refer to a group. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this with a plural form. Alternate translation: “the Danites”

{was} barren and had not given birth
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was (a)_man one(ms) of,Zorah from,tribe the,Danites and=his/its=name Mānōaḩ and=his/its=woman/wife infertile and=not had_~_children )
These phrases mean similar things. The author is using them together for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the meaning with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “was unable to have children”
13:2 Prior to their migration to the extreme north (ch 18), the tribe of Dan attempted to settle in Israel’s southwest (Josh 19:40-48). This put them in direct conflict with the incoming Philistines.
• Zorah was west of Judah, in the area newly occupied by the Philistines. Both Dan and neighboring Judah submitted to Philistine dominance (Judg 14:4; 15:11).

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.
