The author is 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 saying this. Alternate translation: [And they practiced divination]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּֽתְמַכְּר֗וּ לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת הָרַ֛ע
(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_made_pass DOM sons_of,their and=DOM daughters_of,their in,fire and,they_divined divination and,they_practiced_divination and,they_sold_themselves for=doing the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH to,provoke,him_to_anger )
The author is using they sold themselves as a common expression of his culture to mean that the Israelites allowed doing evil to take complete control of their lives. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of 1 Kings, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Kings 21:20](../1ki/21/20.md). Alternate translation: [And they surrendered themselves completely to doing evil] or [And they gave in completely to doing evil]

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.
