Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
כִּ֭י
that/for/because/then/when
Elihu is using the word For to introduce the immediate reason why he has been saying that God is powerful and wise. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “We can see how powerful and wise God is from the way that”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יְגָרַ֣ע נִטְפֵי־מָ֑יִם
draws_up drops water
Elihu is referring implicitly to the way God draws up water from the earth and sea as mist into the air. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “he makes drops of water rise into the air as mist”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְאֵדֽוֹ
into,mist,its
Elihu is speaking as if the water that evaporates from the earth and sea literally forms a stream in the sky that supplies clouds with rainwater. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “into God’s supply” or “into the clouds”
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.
