UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

עָ֭לָי⁠ו תִּרְנֶ֣ה אַשְׁפָּ֑ה

on/upon/above=him/it rattles quiver

A quiver is a container that holds arrows. At this time, quivers were typically made of leather. If your readers would not be familiar with what a quiver is, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “The container for its rider’s arrows bounces against its side”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לַ֖הַב חֲנִ֣ית וְ⁠כִידֽוֹן

flashing spear and,javelin

Yahweh is leaving some words that in many languages this sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “as does the flashing of the spear and the javelin”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לַ֖הַב חֲנִ֣ית וְ⁠כִידֽוֹן

flashing spear and,javelin

Yahweh is using this possessive form to describe a spear and javelin that are characterized by flashing. These may have been made of wood, but they would have had metal points that gleamed in the sunlight. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “as do the spear and javelin whose points glisten in the sunlight”
