Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וּבָרָ֗ק
and,Barak
The author is using Barak, the commander of the Israelite army, to mean the entire army. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “But Barak and the soldiers he commanded”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַיִּפֹּ֞ל כָּל־מַחֲנֵ֤ה סִֽיסְרָא֙ לְפִי־חֶ֔רֶב לֹ֥א נִשְׁאַ֖ר עַד־אֶחָֽד
and,fell all/each/any/every army Şīşərāʼ by,edge sword not left until one(ms)
The phrases all of the army … fell and Not even one remained mean the same thing. For emphasis, the author is saying it first positively and then negatively. If a speaker of your language would not use repetition like this, in your translation you can convey the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “and every single one of Sisera’s soldiers fell by the mouth of the sword”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיִּפֹּ֞ל
and,fell
The author is using the word fell to mean “died,” by association with the way that people fall down when they die. Alternate translation: “and … died”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
לְפִי־חֶ֔רֶב
by,edge sword
See how you translated the similar expression in the previous verse.
4:14-16 Mount Tabor, with its forest cover, was a strategic location, and the rush down the hill must have surprised the unsuspecting Canaanites. The battle was won, however, because it was the Lord’s war, not because of human strategy and tactics.
• Nothing is said here about why the chariots were so ineffective; this awaits the poetic version of the account (5:21).

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.
