OET (OET-RV) Initially the harvester cut off all the stalks of grain and gathered them together,
⇔ → then an individual came along picking up any dropped stalks,
⇔ → in the Refaim valley.

and=it_was as,gathers reaper standing_grain
The point of this comparison is that just as a harvester strips a field bare when gathering standing grain, so the judgment will strip Israel of its people and wealth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [And Israel will be stripped clean, as when a harvester gathers the standing grain]

וְהָיָ֗ה כֶּֽאֱסֹף֙ קָצִ֣יר קָמָ֔ה וּזְרֹע֖וֹ שִׁבֳּלִ֣ים יִקְצ֑וֹר וְהָיָ֛ה כִּמְלַקֵּ֥ט שִׁבֳּלִ֖ים בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים
and=it_was as,gathers reaper standing_grain and,arm_of,his ears harvests and=it_was like,[one_who]_gathers ears_of_grain in,the_valley_of Rəfāʼīm
See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [And it will be like a harvester gathering standing grain, and his arm reaps heads of grain; indeed, it will be like the gleaning of heads of grain in the Valley of the Raphaites]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וְהָיָ֛ה כִּמְלַקֵּ֥ט שִׁבֳּלִ֖ים בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים
and=it_was like,[one_who]_gathers ears_of_grain in,the_valley_of Rəfāʼīm
The point of this comparison is that just as the gleaning of heads of grain in the Valley of the Raphaites leaves a field completely bare, so the judgment will leave very few people remaining in Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly.

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.
