OET (OET-RV) If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be executed. That’s perversion and so their blood is on their own heads.

וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִשְׁכַּב֙ אֶת־כַּלָּת֔וֹ
and,a_man (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_man which/who lies_with DOM his/its=daughter-in-law to_die they_must_die both_of=them perversion they_had_acquired blood(s)_of,their [are]_on,them )
This is a polite way of speaking of sexual relations. See how you handled the similar expression in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [And a man who sleeps with his daughter-in-law] or [And a man who has sexual relations with his daughter-in-law]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶת־כַּלָּת֔וֹ
DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_man which/who lies_with DOM his/its=daughter-in-law to_die they_must_die both_of=them perversion they_had_acquired blood(s)_of,their [are]_on,them )
A daughter-in-law is the wife of one’s son. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could include this information. Alternate translation: [with his son’s wife]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
מ֥וֹת יוּמְת֖וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם
to_die they_must_die (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_man which/who lies_with DOM his/its=daughter-in-law to_die they_must_die both_of=them perversion they_had_acquired blood(s)_of,their [are]_on,them )
See how you translated this exact phrase in 20:11.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
תֶּ֥בֶל עָשׂ֖וּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,a_man which/who lies_with DOM his/its=daughter-in-law to_die they_must_die both_of=them perversion they_had_acquired blood(s)_of,their [are]_on,them )
Here the abstract noun perversion refers to a behavior that is considered to be far outside the bounds of what Yahweh intends for people to do. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of perversion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [The thing they have done is perverted and disgusting] or [Such behavior is forbidden because it is so disgusting and perverse]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Some words not found in UHB: and,a_man which/who lies_with DOM his/its=daughter-in-law to_die they_must_die both_of=them perversion they_had_acquired blood(s)_of,their [are]_on,them )
See how you handled the similar expression in 20:9.
OET-LV And_a_man who he_will_lie with his/its_daughter-in-law surely_(die) both_of_them they_will_be_put_to_death confusion they_have_done blood(s)_of_their are_on_them.
OET (OET-RV) If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be executed. That’s perversion and so their blood is on their own heads.
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.
