Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
וְעַתָּ֤ה
and=now
Elihu is using the phrase And now to introduce an important point, the conclusion of his speech, that Job should not be asking to speak with God. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “So then”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
לֹ֘א רָ֤אוּ
not look_at
Here, they is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with a different expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “people do not look at”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
א֗וֹר בָּהִ֣יר ה֭וּא בַּשְּׁחָקִ֑ים
light bright he/it in/on/at/with,skies
Elihu is using a poetic expression to describe the sun. It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “the sun”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם
and,cleared,them
Elihu is speaking as if the wind literally cleansed the skies when it drove away all the clouds. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and driven away all 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 Greek words that they’re translated from.
