Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
וַיִּקְרְא֤וּ שֵׁם הָעִיר֙ דָּ֔ן
and,called name_of the=city Dān
It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [And they named the city Dan]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
דָּ֣ן אֲבִיהֶ֔ם
Dān ancestor_of,their
The author is speaking as if Dan were the actual father of these people. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [their ancestor Dan]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אֲשֶׁ֥ר יוּלַּ֖ד לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
which/who born to,Israel
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [whom Israel fathered]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
לָרִאשֹׁנָֽה
at_the,first
The author is using the adjective first as a noun to mean the earlier time. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this so that this adjective is not a noun or use an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [in the first place] or [originally]
18:1-31 The migration of the Danites (cp. Josh 19:40-48) is the story of that tribe’s failure to obey God’s covenant, and it is indicative of Israel’s decline. What began as Micah’s private heresy (Judg 17:4-5) would become the apostasy of an entire tribe (18:30-31). What began as covenant failure (1:19-36) turned into social breakdown in the days of Jephthah and Samson (chs 11–16). In the end, law and order were replaced by banditry and pillaging (18:27-28).

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.
