OET (OET-LV) And_died Dəbōrāh the_nurse of_Riⱱqāh and_buried from_under of wwww under the_oak and_he/it_called his/its_name Oak of_Weeping.
OET (OET-RV) Then Rebekah’s nurse Deborah died and was buried under the oak tree below Beyt-el so he named the place ‘Allon Bakut’ (which means ‘oak of weeping’).
וַתָּ֤מָת דְּבֹרָה֙ מֵינֶ֣קֶת רִבְקָ֔ה
and,died Dəbōrāh nurse Riⱱqāh's
See how you translated nurse in Gen 24:59.
וַתִּקָּבֵ֛ר
and,buried
Alternate translation: “and her body was buried by Jacob in the ground” or “They buried her body in the ground”
מִתַּ֥חַת לְבֵֽית אֵ֖ל
from=under of, אֵל
The town of Bethel was built on a hill, so the phrase below Bethel means that Deborah was buried near Bethel, in a valley or place that was lower in elevation than the town, and possibly to the south of it. Alternate translation: “in the valley below the town of Bethel,” or “at a place south of the town of Bethel,”

תַּ֣חַת הָֽאַלּ֑וֹן
below/instead_of the,oak
See how you translated a similar phrase (“under the terebinth/oak tree”) in verse 4. Many translations translate this phrase the same way in both places (“under an oak tree”), even though different Hebrew words are used for the type of tree. Also, for some languages it is more natural to put this phrase before the previous phrase and say, “at the base of an oak tree, below/near the town of Bethel.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “beside an oak tree” or “at the foot of an oak tree.”
וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ
and=he/it_called his/its=name
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) that people in general called the tree or place Allon Bacuth; or (2) that Jacob was the one who named the place. See how you translated a similar clause in Gen 31:38. Alternate translation: “So he named the tree” or “That is why the place is known as”

אַלּ֥וֹן בָּכֽוּת
Allon Bacuth
If you include the meaning of this name in your translation text or in a footnote, make sure it fits with how you translated oak tree in the previous sentence.
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) Then Rebekah’s nurse Deborah died and was buried under the oak tree below Beyt-el so he named the place ‘Allon Bakut’ (which means ‘oak of weeping’).
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.
