Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כִּי֩
that/for/because/then/when
For many languages it is more natural to begin a new sentence here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “The reason you must do that is”
לְיָמִ֨ים ע֜וֹד שִׁבְעָ֗ה
for,days again/more seven
The phrase, seven more days could be translated “another week” here and in verse 11. However, it is probably best to keep the number seven in the text in both places, especially since the number seven often signifies perfection or completion in the Bible, perhaps also here. Alternate translation: “seven days from now”
אָֽנֹכִי֙ מַמְטִ֣יר
I send_rain
Alternate translation: “I will send rain”
עַל הָאָ֔רֶץ
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land
Alternate translation: “all over the world”
אַרְבָּעִ֣ים י֔וֹם וְאַרְבָּעִ֖ים לָ֑יְלָה
forty day and,forty night
This phrase refers to forty complete 24-hour days.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וּמָחִ֗יתִי
and,blot_out
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated this idiom in Gen 6:7. Alternate translation: “in order to blot out” or “That will wash away”
אֶֽת כָּל הַיְקוּם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשִׂ֔יתִי
DOM all/each/any/every the,living_thing which/who made
See how you translated a similar phrase (“living creature”) in Gen 6:19. Alternate translation: “all the living things that I have made”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֥י הָֽאֲדָמָֽה
from=under face/surface_of the=soil
It may be clearer to put this phrase earlier in the sentence and say, “in order to completely destroy from/off the ground/earth every living creature/thing that I have made.” Do what is best in your language. See how you translated this phrase in Gen 6:7. Alternate translation: “off the surface of the earth.” or “off the land.”
7:4 The number forty is often associated with affliction, trial, or punishment (see Exod 16:35; Judg 13:1; 1 Kgs 19:8; Ezek 4:6; Jon 3:4; Matt 4:2; Acts 1:3).

OET (OET-RV) Seven days from now I’ll send forty days and nights of rain on the earth, and I’ll eliminate every living thing that I’ve made that’s still on the ground.
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.
