UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לַ⁠עֲשׂ֣וֹת לָ⁠ר֣וּחַ מִשְׁקָ֑ל

for=doing to_the,wind weight

Job is using the term weight to mean “force.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “When he determined the force of the wind”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ֝⁠מַ֗יִם תִּכֵּ֥ן בְּ⁠מִדָּֽה

and=water apportioned in/on/at/with,measure

Job is referring implicitly to the rain waters that clouds contain. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and apportioned rain waters to the clouds by measure”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ֝⁠מַ֗יִם תִּכֵּ֥ן בְּ⁠מִדָּֽה

and=water apportioned in/on/at/with,measure

Job is speaking as if God literally used a measure in order to put the right amount of rain waters in the clouds. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and carefully apportioned rain waters to the clouds”
