OET (OET-RV) I sent hornets[fn] ahead of you all and they drove out the two Amorite kings—it wasn’t your swords or bows that did it.
24:12 The Hebrew word ‘צִרְעָה’ (‘hornet’, but pluralised here in the OET-RV) may have some non-literal meaning here, e.g., ‘panic’, or it may be a general reference to any manifestation of God’s anger.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לֹ֥א בְחַרְבְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א בְקַשְׁתֶּֽךָ
not in/on/at/with,sword,your and=not in/on/at/with,bow,your
Yahweh is using two specific weapons to mean all of the weapons that the Israelites possessed and used. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “not by your own weapons”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לֹ֥א בְחַרְבְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א בְקַשְׁתֶּֽךָ
not in/on/at/with,sword,your and=not in/on/at/with,bow,your
Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “This was not by your sword and not by your bow” or “This was not because you used your own weapons”
24:12 Israel’s successes were not because of their swords or bows or other military advantage; all were God’s doing.

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.
