(Some words not found in UHB: why see they(emph) terrified turning back and,warriors_of,their beaten_down and,place_of_refuge fled and=not look_back terror on,all_around declares_of YHWH )

The word “I” here refer to Yahweh. Yahweh uses a question to introduce the vision and to draw attention to what he says next. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Look at what is happening here”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) They are filled with terror

(Some words not found in UHB: why see they(emph) terrified turning back and,warriors_of,their beaten_down and,place_of_refuge fled and=not look_back terror on,all_around declares_of YHWH )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word terror, you can express the same idea with a verbal form such as “terrified.” Alternate translation: “The Egyptian soldiers are terrified”
