Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֵת֩ כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַעֲשׂ֤וּן בָּנָיו֙ לְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
DOM all/each/any/every which/who doing, sons_of,his to/from=all/each/any/every Yisrael
The author is alluding to what he said in [2:14](../02/14.md) that Eli’s sons were doing “to all of Israel.” You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [how his sons were stealing meat from the offerings that the Israelites brought]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
לְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
to/from=all/each/any/every Yisrael
The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [to every Israelite who brought an animal to sacrifice]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
יִשְׁכְּבוּן֙ אֶת
lay_with, DOM
The author is speaking in a polite way about a matter that is usually private. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [they were sleeping with]
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
הַנָּשִׁ֔ים הַצֹּ֣בְא֔וֹת פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד
the,women the,served entrance_of tent/house meeting
These were women who helped with various tasks at the sanctuary. If your readers would not be familiar with who these women were and what they did, in your translation you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [the women who assisted at the sanctuary]
2:22 seducing . . . women: Eli’s sons had probably been influenced by Canaanite religious practices, which included sex as part of the ritual.
• who assisted at the entrance: See Exod 38:8.

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.
