OET (OET-RV) So they gave Yacob all their idols and their earrings, and he buried them under the terebinth tree that was near Shekem.

Alternate translation: “Then they gave Jacob” or “Then they turned over to Jacob”

DOM all/each/any/every gods the,foreign which/who in/on/at/with,hands,they
See how you translated foreign gods in verse 2. You could translate this differently here since this is the second time they are mentioned in this paragraph. Alternate translation: “all the pagan gods that they had with them”
וְאֶת הַנְּזָמִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּאָזְנֵיהֶ֑ם
and=DOM the,rings which/who in/on/at/with,ears,their
These earrings seem to have been part of their idol worship and may have had images of their idols on them. You could include that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “and the earrings they wore on their ears.”
וַיִּטְמֹ֤ן אֹתָם֙ יַעֲקֹ֔ב

Alternate translation: “Then Jacob hid everything in the ground” or “Then Jacob hid all those things in the ground”

Make sure it is clear in your translation that Jacob buried these things in the ground beside the tree, not directly under the trunk of the tree. Alternate translation: “beside” or “at the foot of”

the,oak
Although this phrase refers to a terebinth tree, many translations have “oak tree” instead, or some other type of large, strong tree that is well known. See how you translated a different Hebrew word that is also translated terebinth tree or “oak tree” in Gen 12:6; 13:18; 14:13; 18:1. Another Hebrew word in Gen 35:8 is also translated as “oak.” Alternate translation: “a oak tree”
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.

OET (OET-RV) So they gave Yacob all their idols and their earrings, and he buried them under the terebinth tree that was near Shekem.
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.
