[fn][fn]
OET (OET-RV) and abandoned the god of their ancestors, Yahweh, the one who brought them out of Egypt. Instead they went after other gods—the gods of the people around them. They worshipped them and that made Yahweh angry.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיֵּלְכ֞וּ אַחֲרֵ֣י ׀ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֗ים
and,went after ʼElohīm other
The author is speaking as if the Israelites literally went after the false gods that they worshiped, that is, as if they walked somewhere following them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they served other gods”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲו֖וּ לָהֶ֑ם
and,bowed_down to/for=them
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, bowing down to these gods was a symbolic action that was an act of worship. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “and they worshiped them by bowing down to them”
2:10-19 Joshua was dead, the new generation had not experienced God’s saving power, and the Canaanites continued to live in the land. What resulted was the cycle of rebellion and partial restoration. This section introduces that cycle, which the body of the book exemplifies.

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.
