OET (OET-RV) They chased after the Midianites and captured their two princes, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at the rock now called ‘Oreb’s rock’, and they killed Zeeb at a winepress now called ‘Zeeb’s winepress’, and they brought their heads back across the Yordan to Gideon.

Note 2 topic: translate-names
בְּצוּר־עוֹרֵב֙ & בְיֶֽקֶב־זְאֵ֔ב
in/on/at/with,rock ˊOrēⱱ & in/on/at/with, זְאֵב
The expressions the rock of Oreb and the winepress of Zeeb are the names of places. Some languages may present these names as titles. Alternate translation: “at the Rock of Zeeb … at the Winepress of Oreb”
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
וְרֹאשׁ־עֹרֵ֣ב וּזְאֵ֔ב
and,heads ˊOrēⱱ and,Zeeb
Since the author is referring to two people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of head. Alternate translation: “and … the heads of Oreb and Zeeb”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶל־גִּדְע֔וֹן מֵעֵ֖בֶר לַיַּרְדֵּֽן
to/towards to/towards Gidˊōn from,beyond of_the,Jordan
This could mean: (1) that the soldiers from Ephraim pursued the fleeing Midianite soldiers across the Jordan River, bringing the heads of Oreb and Zeeb with them, and when they met Gideon on the east side of the river, they presented the heads to him. This would mean that 8:4 is resuming the story after this episode. Alternate translation: “to Gideon after he crossed the Jordan” (2) that the soldiers from Ephraim pursued the fleeing Midianite soldiers across the Jordan River, found and killed Oreb and Zeeb on the east side of the river, and then brought their heads back to Gideon on the west side of the river. This would mean that the phrase they chased after Midian is a summary of what happened in the first part of the verse. Alternate translation: “back across the river to Gideon”
7:25 Oreb (“raven”) and Zeeb (“wolf”) were military leaders, in contrast to Zebah and Zalmunna, who were kings (8:5). This capture was commemorated in the subsequent names of the rock and winepress where they were captured.
