Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיַּ֗רְא
and=he/it_saw
Here the author is not using the pronoun one to refer to a specific person. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And each one saw] or [And they saw]

נִצָּ֖ב עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם
leading over,them

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.
