OET (OET-LV) Seraphim were_standing from_above to_him/it six wings six wings belonged_to_one with_two_wings he_covered face_of_his and_with_two_wings he_covered feet_of_his and_with_two_wings he_flew.
OET (OET-RV) There were ‘serafs’ standing above him. They each had six wings—they used two to cover their faces, two to cover their feet, and two to fly with.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
יְכַסֶּ֣ה פָנָ֗יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֛יִם יְכַסֶּ֥ה רַגְלָ֖יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֥יִם יְעוֹפֵֽף
covered face_of,his and,with,two_[wings] covered feet_of,his and,with,two_[wings] let_him/it_fly
The pronouns he and his refer to each individual seraph. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [each one covered his face, and with two, each covered his feet, and with two, each flew]
Note 2 topic: writing-poetry
שֵׁ֧שׁ כְּנָפַ֛יִם שֵׁ֥שׁ כְּנָפַ֖יִם לְאֶחָ֑ד
six wings six wings [belonged]_to,one
This is poetic language. If your language has a way to indicate poetry, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [Each seraph had six wings!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
יְכַסֶּ֥ה רַגְלָ֖יו
covered feet_of,his
Isaiah is referring to the seraph’s lower body in a polite way by using the phrase he covered his feet. Depending on what is helpful for your readers, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [he covered his lower body]

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.
