OET (OET-LV) And a_great multitude of_the people was_following with_him, and of_women who were_mourning and were_lamenting him.
OET (OET-RV) Following along behind them, was a large crowd of people including women who were wailing for Yeshua and chanting sad songs,
ἠκολούθει & αὐτῷ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ γυναικῶν
/was/_following & ˱with˲_him /a/_great multitude ˱of˲_the people and ˱of˲_women
The women were part of the large crowd. They were not in a separate crowd of their own. Alternate translation: [a great crowd of people, which included women, was following him]
Note 1 topic: writing-background
καὶ γυναικῶν αἳ ἐκόπτοντο καὶ ἐθρήνουν αὐτόν
and ˱of˲_women who /were/_mourning and /were/_lamenting him
Luke provides this background information to help readers understand what happens next, when Jesus speaks to these women. It might be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Now the crowd included women who were mourning and wailing for Jesus]
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
ἐκόπτοντο
/were/_mourning
See the note to mourning at 8:52, and see how you translated this word there. It could mean that the women were pounding on their chests as a sign of grief, as was customary in this culture, or it could mean more generally that they were expressing their sorrow over what was happening to Jesus. Alternate translation: [pounding on their chests]
ἠκολούθει & αὐτῷ
/was/_following & ˱with˲_him
Here, the word following is not figurative. It does not mean that these people were Jesus’ disciples. Alternate translation: [were walking along behind him]

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.
