OET (OET-RV) and told him, “Your name is Ya’akov but you won’t be called Ya’akov anymore. From now on, you’ll be called Yisrael (Israel).” So again God called him Yisrael.

What God says to Jacob in verses 10–12 is the blessing. So make sure your translation of “blessed” (verse 9) and said (verse 10) refers to the same event, not two separate events. See how you translated “blessed … and said” in Genesis 1:28. Alternate translation: [by saying to him]
שִׁמְךָ֣ יַעֲקֹ֑ב
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it ʼElohīm name_of,your Yaakob not he/it_will_be_called name_of,your again/more Yaakob that/for/because/then/when if Yisrael will_belong your(ms)=name and=he/it_called DOM his/its=name Yisrael )
Make sure your translation of this clause does not sound like God was telling Jacob something he did not know.

not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it ʼElohīm name_of,your Yaakob not he/it_will_be_called name_of,your again/more Yaakob that/for/because/then/when if Yisrael will_belong your(ms)=name and=he/it_called DOM his/its=name Yisrael )
Notice that Jacob is referred to by both of his names in this chapter (Jacob in verses 11–20, 22–29; Israel in verses 10 and 21). You could put that information in a footnote. Also see how you translated this clause in Genesis 32:28, and see the note about Jacob’s names there. Alternate translation: [that will no longer be your only name] or [it will no longer be that name]
כִּ֤י אִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה שְׁמֶ֔ךָ

Alternate translation: [Rather, your name will also be Israel!] or [Rather, you will also have the name Israel!]

This was not the first time God had given Jacob the name Israel (See: Genesis 32:28). To make that clear, you could make “once again” explicit here.
