OET (OET-RV) So Yacob instructed his household and everyone with him, “Remove any foreign idols that are among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

Alternate translation: “So Jacob told the members of his family”
וְאֶ֖ל כָּל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִמּ֑וֹ
and=near/to all/each/any/every which/who with=him/it
This included Jacob’s servants and the people (women and children) whom his sons had just captured from the city of Shechem (Gen 34:29). You could put some of that information in a footnote.

See how you translated “idols” and gods in Gen 31:19, 30, 32. Alternate translation: “Get rid of the idols you have that pagan ethnic groups worship.” or “Give up the idols that you have from foreigners”
Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms
וְהִֽטַּהֲר֔וּ
and,purify
They were to make themselves physically clean as a sign that they were preparing themselves mentally and spiritually to worship God (as their only God) at Bethel, which was a holy place where God had met with Jacob before. Some languages may have a special word for purify that communicates this. Do what is best in your language. Also consider whether or not it is best in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and cleanse yourselves”
וְהַחֲלִ֖יפוּ שִׂמְלֹתֵיכֶֽם
and,change clothes,your_all's
Alternate translation: “and get on clean clothes.”
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 Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
