UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִ֭לָּ֣פְתוּ אָרְח֣וֹת דַּרְכָּ֑⁠ם

turn_aside caravans course,their

The implication is that these Caravans are leaving their usual routes to look for water in the dry season. The oases along the routes have presumably dried up, and the caravans are going to places where they expect to find streams still flowing. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Caravans turn themselves aside from their way to look for water”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יַעֲל֖וּ

go_up

The expression go up does not necessarily indicate travel to a higher elevation. In this context, it probably means to leave the caravan route and go into the untracked desert. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “they go out”
