two-thirds_of_a_shekel
A pim was a weight of silver equivalent to about eight grams or about a quarter of an ounce. You could try to express this in terms of modern money values, but if you did, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. Instead, you could either give the equivalent weight or use the biblical term in the text and explain the weight in a note.

and,for,one-third forks
A three-fork was a tool with three pointed prongs, similar to what the author calls “a fork with three prongs” in [2:13](../02/13.md). See how you translated the name of this tool there. Here the author is using a compound noun form. You may be able to describe this tool with a similar form in your language. Alternate translation: [and for a trident] or [and for a three-pronged fork]

the,goads
The author is not referring to a specific goad (a pointed stick used to guide cattle). He means such tools in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [goads]
13:19-22 no blacksmiths: The Philistines kept the Israelites unarmed by gaining a monopoly on the iron necessary to make weapons. Iron technology had not existed long in Canaan; it might have developed in the Aegean area, and metalworking skills were possibly introduced into Canaan through seafaring peoples, including the Philistines.

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.
