OET (OET-RV) so they called that place Bokim (which means ‘weeping’) and they offered sacrifices to Yahweh there.

The author assumes that his readers will know that Bokim means “weepers.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could provide this information in a footnote, or you could put it in the text of your translation, as the UST does.

It might seem that the expression they called the name of that place contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. See how you translated the same expression in 1:17. Alternate translation: “So they called that place”
2:1-5 The sanctuary had been set up at Gilgal (Josh 4:19-20; 5:10); Bokim is an unknown place, where the angel of the Lord gave an announcement that led to weeping and an attempt to reverse the judgment by offering sacrifice.
OET (OET-RV) so they called that place Bokim (which means ‘weeping’) and they offered sacrifices to Yahweh there.
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.
