פָּרָ֣שׁ מַעֲלֶ֗ה וְלַ֤הַב חֶ֨רֶב֙ וּבְרַ֣ק חֲנִ֔ית
horsemen charging and,flashing_of swords and,glittering_of spears
In this verse, the words horseman, sword, and spear are singular in form, but each refers to multiple items as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: [The charging horsemen and flashing swords and gleaming spears]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
פָּרָ֣שׁ מַעֲלֶ֗ה וְלַ֤הַב חֶ֨רֶב֙ וּבְרַ֣ק חֲנִ֔ית
horsemen charging and,flashing_of swords and,glittering_of spears
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [There are charging horsemen and flashing swords and gleaming spears]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְאֵ֥ין קֵ֨צֶה֙ לַגְּוִיָּ֔ה
and,without end to_the,dead_bodies
The author is using an exaggeration to emphasize how many bodies there are. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [The dead bodies are endless] or [The dead bodies never stop]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
