that/for/because/then/when many in/on/at/with,Judah bound_of oath to=him/it
This means that many Judeans were “owners of oaths” to Tobiah. That is, they had sworn oaths to be loyal to him. Alternate translation: “Many people in Judah had sworn an oath to be loyal to him”

that/for/because/then/when many in/on/at/with,Judah bound_of oath to=him/it
You can put this information last in the verse because it is a result, and the rest of the verse gives the reason why the people swore these oaths.

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.
