OET (OET-RV) “Yahweh came from Mt. Sinai came

⇔ shining out from Mt. Paran.
⇔ He came with ten thousands of holy ones,
⇔ holding lightning for them in his right hand.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יְהוָ֞ה מִסִּינַ֥י בָּא֙ וְזָרַ֤ח מִשֵּׂעִיר֙ לָ֔מוֹ הוֹפִ֨יעַ֙ מֵהַ֣ר פָּארָ֔ן
YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_said YHWH from,Sinai he/it_came and,he_dawned from,Seir to,them shone_forth from=hill Pāʼrān and,he_came from,ten_thousands_of holy [was]_from,his_right_of,hand lightning_of for,them )
Moses is speaking of Yahweh as if he were the sun that rose from Seir and shone forth from Mount Paran. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could express this as a comparison. Alternate translation: [Yahweh came from Sinai and appeared to them like the sun rising from Seir and shining from Mount Paran]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
לָ֔מוֹ
to,them
The pronoun them refers to the people of Israel. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the people or nation here. Alternate translation: [to the people of Israel] or [to his people]
Note 3 topic: translate-numbers
מֵרִבְבֹ֣ת קֹ֑דֶשׁ
from,ten_thousands_of holy
Here the author is using the phrase ten thousands to refer to a very large number. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or use plain language. Alternate translation: [with a great multitude of holy ones] or [with a vast number of holy ones]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
קֹ֑דֶשׁ
holy
Moses is using the adjective holy as a noun to mean a certain kind of being. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [holy ones] or [holy beings]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִֽימִינ֕וֹ
[was]_from,his_right_of,hand
Here, right hand represents power or control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in his power]
Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants
מִֽימִינ֕וֹ אשדת לָֽמוֹ
[was]_from,his_right_of,hand lightning_of for,them
The Hebrew is uncertain. This could mean: (1) Yahweh has lightening in his hand. Alternate translation: [in his right hand were flames of fire] or (2) Sinai was covered with fire while Yahweh gave the law to Moses. Alternate translation: [he gave them a law of fire]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אשדת
lightning_of
Moses is using the possessive form to describe a law that is characterized by fire. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a fiery law] or [a law given from fire]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
