Exegesis
The Qal imperfect talinu {תָּלִינוּ | tā-līnū} “you will lodge” forecasts action by the caravans, and the construct orchot dedanim {אֹרְחוֹת דְּדָנִים | ʾōr-ḥōṯ də-dā-nîm} “caravans of Dedanites” identifies the subjects. English preserves the repetition and sequence of prepositional phrases to reflect the Hebrew’s poetic emphasis.
