Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
וַיְהִ֗י
and=he/it_was
The author is introducing a new event in the story. The ULT indicates this with the word Now. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיָּשׁ֨וּבוּ֙
and,again
The author is speaking as if the Israelites literally turned and faced or went in a different direction. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the same expression in 2:19. Alternate translation: “that … changed their behavior”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיִּזְנ֖וּ אַחֲרֵ֣י הַבְּעָלִ֑ים
and,prostituted after the,Baals
See how you translated the same expression in 2:17. Alternate translation: “and betrayed Yahweh by worshiping the Baals”

The expression Baal-Berith is the name of a false god. It means “master of the covenant.” This name also appears in 9:4 and in the form El-Berith (which means “god of the covenant”) in 9:46.
8:33-35 Gideon’s ephod (8:27) quickly became part of a pagan shrine honoring images of the ever-present Canaanite deity Baal, here called Baal-berith (“Baal of the covenant”). Fundamental to this apostasy were the twin themes of forgetting the Lord and his works and disloyalty to godly leadership. Remembering is basic to biblical, covenantal worship, from the time of the Exodus (Exod 12:14, 24) to the ongoing Christian celebration of the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor 11:25).
• loyalty: See study note on Judg 1:24.

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.
