mount_of Yəˊārīm/(Jearim) & she/it Kəşālōn/(Chesalon)
The author is providing background information to help readers understand that Mount Jearim was also known as Kesalon. In your translation, present this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
15:1-63 Judah’s tribal allotment is described in greater detail than that of the other tribes. The failures of Judah’s elder brothers (Gen 34:25-31; 35:22) put him in line to receive the mantle of leadership. Thus, the tribe of Judah received a central geographical position among the tribes, guaranteeing its leadership in the nation (Gen 49:8-12; Deut 33:7).

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.
