אִמְרֵי אֵ֑ל
words_of god
Balaam is using the possessive form to mean the words that God speaks. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the words that God speaks]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
מַחֲזֵ֤ה שַׁדַּי֙
vision_of almighty
Balaam is using the possessive form to mean the vision that the Almighty reveals. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the vision that the Almighty shows him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
נֹפֵ֖ל
falling_down
This could mean: (1) Balaam bows down before God in worship. Alternate translation: [prostrating himself] (2) Balaam has fallen into a trance or dream state. Alternate translation: [falling into a trance]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּגְל֥וּי עֵינָֽיִם
and,[who_is]_uncovered_of eyes
Here Balaam speaks of himself as one whose eyes have been uncovered, as if a covering that prevented him from perceiving had been removed. He means that God has enabled him to perceive what God reveals to him. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and clearly perceiving what God shows him]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וּגְל֥וּי עֵינָֽיִם
and,[who_is]_uncovered_of eyes
The expression uncovered of eyes is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and God uncovered his eyes]

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.
