Ahab’s actions of tearing his garments, wearing sackcloth day and night, fasting, and walking softly were symbolic actions by which he showed his repentance and mourning for his sins. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of these actions in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [that to show his sorrow for his sins, he tore his garments, put sackcloth upon his flesh, fasted, lay down in sackcloth, and walked humbly]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
