Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מִ֭צָּפוֹן
out_of,north
Elihu assumes that Job will understand that by the north he means the abode of God. In this culture, people believed that there was a divine residence in the northern regions of the earth. You could translate this with a general expression or with a term that your readers would recognize as describing the abode of God. Alternate translation: “From God’s abode” or “From heaven”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
זָהָ֣ב יֶֽאֱתֶ֑ה
golden comes
Elihu is using the term gold by association to mean golden splendor, that is, the glory of God. He is actually speaking of God coming in glory. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God comes in his glory”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
עַל־אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַּ נ֣וֹרָא הֽוֹד
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in god awesome majesty
Elihu is drawing an implicit contrast between the brightness of the sun, which people cannot look at directly, and the infinitely greater brightness of God’s glory. You may wish to make this contrast explicit in your translation. The UST models one way to do that.
37:22 the mountain of God (Hebrew from Zaphon): In the literature of the ancient city of Ugarit, Zaphon was the northern mountainous abode of Baal; here it figuratively refers to God’s lofty home in the heavens (see Isa 14:13-14).
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.
