OET (OET-LV) And gave_help the earth to_the women, and opened_up the earth the mouth of_it, and swallowed_up the river, which throw the dragon out_of the mouth of_him.
OET (OET-RV) but the ground helped the woman by opening up a big hole, and so the flood that the dinosaur poured out from his mouth disappeared into it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἐβοήθησεν ἡ γῆ τῇ γυναικί
gave_help the earth ˱to˲_the women
John is speaking of the earth as if it were a living thing that helped this woman. This may be something that readers could understand literally within the world of this vision. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning differently. Alternate translation: [something happened on the earth that helped the woman]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἤνοιξεν ἡ γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς
opened_up the earth the mouth ˱of˲_it
John is speaking as if the earth literally had a mouth and swallowed this river. He means that some kind of chasm opened up in the earth and the river flowed down into it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a chasm opened up in the earth and the river flowed down into it]
12:1-17 Satan (pictured as a dragon) plots to challenge God’s purposes but is thwarted. Having failed in direct confrontation with God and Christ, he attempts to attack God’s people. Three brief scenes present an overview of the story (12:1-6), followed by elaborations of the war in heaven (12:7-9) and the war on earth (12:13-17).

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.
