OET (OET-RV) So Gideon took ten of his servants and did what Yahweh had instructed him to, but he did it at night because he was afraid to do it in the daytime—fearing the anger of his father’s household and the men of the city.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־בֵּ֨ית אָבִ֜יו
DOM house_of his/its=father
The author is using the term house by association to mean a group of people who were living together, not necessarily all in the same building. Gideon’s father was the head of this household, which probably included family members in several generations and servants. Alternate translation: [the people in his extended family]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
וְאֶת־אַנְשֵׁ֥י הָעִ֛יר
and=DOM men_of the=city
Here the masculine term men has a generic sense that includes both men and women. While the males in the city were the most likely to attack Gideon for tearing down the altar of Baal, he probably feared any person—man or woman, adult or child—who would recognize him and identify him as the person who had done that. Alternate translation: [and the people of the city]
6:11-32 Gideon encountered the angel of the Lord and emerged as a hero. He overthrew the syncretistic Baal cult of his family and town and called his people to fight in the Lord’s name.

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.
