Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָֽוֶת
to/towards earth/land darkness and,deep_shadow
The terms darkness and deep shadow mean similar things. Job is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “to the land of great darkness” or “to the place where it is very dark”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָֽוֶת
to/towards earth/land darkness and,deep_shadow
Job is using the terms darkness and deep darkness to mean by association the abode of the dead, which people in this culture believed to be a very dark place, since it was away from any sunlight. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the abode of the dead”
10:20-22 Earlier, Job had painted a fairly pleasant picture of Sheol (3:13-19); now he describes it as a land of darkness and utter gloom (see also 7:9-10; 14:7-22).

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