Exegesis
The constructs reḵêḇ tsemeḏ pā-ra-šîm {רֶכֶב צֶמֶד פָּרָשִׁים | reḵêḇ tsemeḏ pā-ra-šîm}, reḵêḇ ḥă-môr {רֶכֶב חֲמֹר | reḵêḇ ḥă-môr}, and reḵêḇ gā-māl {רֶכֶב גָּמָל | reḵêḇ gā-māl} enumerate ‘a pair of horsemen’, ‘donkey unit’, and ‘camel unit’, creating paratactic buildup. While many translations render these as vehicles, context and animal capacity favor ‘riders’.
In context — Isaiah 21:7
And he saw riders with a pair of horsemen, riders on donkeys, and riders on camels; and he listened attentively with great vigilance .
