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 Gen 1:28. Alternate translation: “by saying to him,”
שִׁמְךָ֣ יַעֲקֹ֑ב
name,your Yaakob
Make sure your translation of this clause does not sound like God was telling Jacob something he did not know.
לֹֽא יִקָּרֵא֩ שִׁמְךָ֨ ע֜וֹד יַעֲקֹ֗ב
not he/it_will_be_called name,you again/more Yaakob
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 Gen 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,”
כִּ֤י אִם יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה שְׁמֶ֔ךָ
that/for/because/then/when if Yisrael will_belong your(ms)=name
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Rather, your name will also be Israel!” or “Rather, you will also have the name Israel!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת שְׁמ֖וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

This was not the first time God had given Jacob the name Israel (See: Gen 32:28). To make that clear, you could make “once again” explicit here.
35:1-29 This chapter highlights God’s promises, Jacob’s vow, and the transition to Jacob’s sons’ carrying on the covenant. Deborah, Rachel, and Isaac all died, marking the end of an era and of the account of Isaac’s family (25:19–35:29).
• Idols were removed (35:1-4) and pure worship was established (35:6-7). During this transition, the faith had to be revitalized so that the covenant could be carried forward by Jacob’s sons.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
