אֶל דָּר֔וֹם & אֶל צָפ֑וֹן
to/towards south & to/towards north
Qoheleth is referring to all directions of the wind by naming two major components, the south and the north. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in one direction … in another]

הוֹלֵךְ֙ & וְסוֹבֵ֖ב & סוֹבֵ֤ב סֹבֵב֙ הוֹלֵ֣ךְ & שָׁ֥ב
blows & and,[it_is]_circling & turning turning goes & returns
Qoheleth is speaking of the wind as if it were a living thing that could intentionally go and return. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Blowing ... and blowing back ... the wind blows … continues to blow ... is blowing back]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
