36:31 The Hebrew yadin can mean he governs or he nourishes, which parallels food in abundance (38:26; Pss 65:9-13; 104:13-15, 27-28). The more common meaning for yadin is “judge,” which would mean that God does all things to bless his people and judge his enemies (Job 37:11-13; 38:22-23; see Gen 6:17; 19:24; Exod 9:23-25; Josh 10:11-14; 1 Sam 12:18).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
כִּי
that/for/because/then/when
Elihu is using the word For to introduce the reason why the storms that God creates are so far-reaching in their effects, as he has just described. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “The storms that God creates are so far-reaching in their effects because”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
בָ֭ם
in/on/at/with,these
The pronoun them refers either to the clouds that Elihu describes in verses 28 and 29 or to the thunder and lightning that he describes in verses 29 and 30. But either way, he is referring ultimately to thunderstorms such as the one whose formation he is narrating in this part of his speech. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “by such storms”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יָדִ֣ין עַמִּ֑ים
judges peoples
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly in your translation how God judges the peoples through the storms that he creates. Alternate translation: “he judges the peoples, sending lightning to punish those who disobey him but sending rain to bless those who obey him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִֽתֶּן־אֹ֥כֶל לְמַכְבִּֽיר
gives food in,abundance
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly in your translation how God gives food in abundance through the storms that he creates. Alternate translation: “the rain from these storms causes crops to grow in abundance”
