Exegesis
The closing clause wəʾārənān dāš ḥiṭṭîm {וְאָרְנָ֖ן דָּ֥שׁ חִטִּֽים | wəʾārənān dāš ḥiṭṭîm} uses a verbless-like participial construction to supply background setting (ongoing threshing) while the mainline verbs narrate the sudden sighting; in English this is naturally rendered with “was threshing” or as a temporal frame (“was threshing when”).
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:20
And Ornan turned back and saw the angel , and his four sons with him were hiding themselves; and Ornan was threshing wheat .
