OET (OET-RV) It was like a swarm of locusts when they’d all come with their tents and their livestock—you couldn’t even count their camels! They entered the region to totally ravage it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְלָהֶ֥ם וְלִגְמַלֵּיהֶ֖ם אֵ֣ין מִסְפָּ֑ר
and,to,they and,to,camels,their not counted
The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “Large numbers of people came, and they brought very many camels with them”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ בָאָ֖רֶץ לְשַׁחֲתָֽהּ
and=they_came in/on_the=earth to,wasted,it
The author is describing the result rather than the purpose of the Midianites coming into the land of Israel. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And as a result of them coming into the land, it was ruined”
6:5 Camels, known in some contexts from as early as 3000 BC, are frequently associated with eastern nomads and their raids. This may be one of the first recorded instances of camels being used in a large military force.

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.
