OET (OET-LV) And_I_gave to_Yiʦḩāq DOM Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and_DOM ˊĒsāv and_I_gave to_ˊĒsāv DOM the_mountain_of Sēˊīr to_take_possession_of it and_Yaˊₐqoⱱ and_sons_of_his they_went_down Miʦrayim/(Egypt).

OET (OET-RV) Then I gave Yacob and Esau to Isaac, and I gave Esau the hill country of Seir but Yacob and his sons went down to Egypt.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:1–33: Israel renewed their covenant with Yahweh

In this section Joshua called the people of Israel together to affirm that they would worship and obey only Yahweh. He warned them that Yahweh would bring disaster on them if they worshiped other gods. Then Joshua died and was buried.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Renewing the covenant at Shechem

The Israelites promise to worship only Yahweh

24:4a

and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau.

and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau: The BSB has placed the indirect object, Isaac, first in the sentence in order to emphasize it. The Hebrew text has normal Hebrew word order: “I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau.” Translate this sentence using the word order that is natural in your language.

Here is another way to translate this part of the verse:

I gave Isaac two sons: Jacob and Esau.

24:4b

I gave Esau Mount Seir to possess,

The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB leaves untranslated but other English versions translate as “and” introduces the next event in the storyline.

I gave Esau Mount Seir to possess: The Mount Seir refers to the land that Esau and his descendants lived in. It was south of the Dead Sea. This land is often called “Edom,” and you may wish to translate it that way. See how you translated the term Seir in Joshua 11:17.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

I gave his son Esau the mountain country of Seir to live in

I gave Esau the hilly country of Edom to be his own land

24:4c

but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.

but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as went down indicates descending to a lower elevation. If the grammar of your language does not keep track of elevation, it may be more natural to translate it as “went.”

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

but Jacob and his children went downhill to live in Egypt

But Jacob and his family went to the land of Egypt
