וְהַבְּהֵמָ֔ה
and,the,animals
The implication is that these are the people's domestic animals. They are not wild animals. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and every animal that they own”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְיִקְרְא֥וּ אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּחָזְקָ֑ה
and,call to/towards ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,urgency
The writer assumes that his readers will understand what the people were to pray for. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and they must cry out loudly to God and ask for mercy” or “and they must pray earnestly to God that he would be merciful to them”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וְיִקְרְא֥וּ
and,call
The pronoun they probably refers to the people, not to the animals. If this is not clear for your readers, you could include this information. Alternate translation: “and the people must cry out”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הֶחָמָ֖ס אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּכַפֵּיהֶֽם
the,violence which/who in/on/at/with,hands,his
Here, hands represents “doing.” This refers to the violence that the people of Nineveh were doing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the violent things that he has done”
3:7-8 By extending the fast and the mourning rituals to animals, the king communicated that this dire emergency required all normal operations to cease so that everyone might pray earnestly and repent of their evil ways. The violence that had come to permeate their society topped the list.

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.
