Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הַלָּ֑יְלָה
the=night
Elihu is probably using the image of night to mean death, similarly to the way Bildad used “darkness” to mean death in 18:18. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “death” or “to die”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לַעֲל֖וֹת עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם
when,cut_off people place,their
By their place, Elihu seems to mean this earth. This may be an implicit warning to Job that once he dies, he will no longer have the opportunity that people on this earth have to repent and be reconciled to God. Alternate translation: “because when people die, they leave this earth and they have no further opportunity to repent”
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.
