OET (OET-RV) Then he prayed again, and the rain came down from the sky and the land sprouted and started to bear fruit again.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
πάλιν προσηύξατο
again ˱he˲_prayed
The pronoun he refers to Elijah. Alternate translation: [Elijah prayed again]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ὁ οὐρανὸς ὑετὸν ἔδωκεν
the sky rain gave
In this context, the heaven means “the sky.” James is speaking of the sky as if it were a living thing that gave rain. Alternate translation: [rain fell from the sky]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἡ γῆ ἐβλάστησεν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς
the earth sprouted the fruit ˱of˲_it
James is speaking of the earth as if it were a living thing that produced fruit. As in [5:7](../05/07.md), James is using the word fruit in a broad sense to mean things that plants produce that are good for food. He does not mean only the kind of fruit that grows on trees and vines. Alternate translation: [crops grew from the ground]
OET (OET-RV) Then he prayed again, and the rain came down from the sky and the land sprouted and started to bear fruit again.
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.
