OET (OET-RV) But if it’s because you all think this land here is defiled, then cross back over to Yahweh’s own land where he lives in his sacred tent. Either way don’t rebel against Yahweh by building this other altar for yourselves that’s distinct from our God Yahweh’s altar.

אִם טְמֵאָ֜ה אֶ֣רֶץ אֲחֻזַּתְכֶ֗ם
if unclean earth/land possession,your_all's
Interpreters have different understandings of why the representatives of the western tribes suggest that the eastern tribes may think their land is unclean. The UST expresses one likely interpretation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
אֲשֶׁ֤ר שָֽׁכַן שָׁם֙ מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֔ה
which/who stands there tabernacle YHWH
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: “where Yahweh’s dwelling is”
Note 3 topic: writing-poetry
אֲשֶׁ֤ר שָֽׁכַן מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֔ה
which/who stands (Some words not found in UHB: and,but if unclean earth/land possession,your_all's cross_over to/for=you_all to/towards earth/land possesses YHWH which/who stands there tabernacle YHWH and,take_possession in/on/at/with,among,us and,in/on/at/with,LORD not rebel and,DOM,us to/towards rebel in/on/at/with,building,you_all to/for=you_all altar other,than altar YHWH God,our )
For emphasis, the western representatives are using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “where Yahweh truly dwells”
22:19 Being defiled was not necessarily the result of rebellion or a moral lapse, but it did prevent persons or groups from participating in regular worship activities, including the offering of sacrifices. If the eastern tribes had defiled the land itself, the Israelites could not offer sacrifices to the Lord within it. This concern provides evidence that the eastern tribes had built their altar on the western bank of the Jordan.
• The land west of the Jordan was considered the Lord’s land. The delegation from the western tribes made a very generous offer, inviting the eastern tribes to share their land. This demonstrated their commitment to national unity in faithfulness to God.

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.
