Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיָּקֶם֩ יְהוָ֨ה לָהֶ֜ם מוֹשִׁ֗יעַ
and,he_raised_up YHWH to/for=them deliverer
See how you translated the same expression in [2:16](../02/16.md). Alternate translation: [and Yahweh provided a savior for them] or [and Yahweh provided someone to deliver them]
Note 2 topic: translate-names
אֶת־אֵה֤וּד בֶּן־גֵּרָא֙
DOM ʼĒhūd son_of Gērāʼ
The words Ehud and Gera are the names of men.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אִ֥ישׁ אִטֵּ֖ר יַד־יְמִינ֑וֹ
(a)_man bound_of hand_of his_right_side_of,his
The author is speaking as if the Ehud literally had some limitation in the use of his right hand. In the context of this culture, the phrase probably indicates that he could use his left hand better than he could use his right hand but that he actually had no restriction in the use of either hand. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a left-handed man]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַיִּשְׁלְח֨וּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל בְּיָדוֹ֙ מִנְחָ֔ה
and,they_sent sons_of Yisrael in=his/its=hand donation/offering
The author is using the hand of Ehud to represent Ehud himself in the act of bringing tribute to Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And the sons of Israel sent tribute with Ehud]

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.
