Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָ֥ם יַחְתּ֑וֹם
in/on/at/with,hand all/each/any/every humankind stops
Elihu is speaking as if God literally put a seal on every person’s hand to restrict it from being used. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He restrains the hand of every man”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָ֥ם יַחְתּ֑וֹם
in/on/at/with,hand all/each/any/every humankind stops
Elihu is using one part of a person, his hand, to mean all of him in the act of working. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He restrains every person from working”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָ֥ם יַחְתּ֑וֹם
in/on/at/with,hand all/each/any/every humankind stops
Elihu is referring implicitly to the way that a heavy downpour of rain prevents people from working in their fields. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “He sends heavy downpours that keep people from working in their fields”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
אָדָ֥ם & לָ֝דַ֗עַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ
humankind & to=know all/each/any/every men_of made,his
Here the masculine terms man and men have a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “person so that all the people whom he has made will know”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לָ֝דַ֗עַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ
to=know all/each/any/every men_of made,his
Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be clearer in your language, you can indicate from the context what God wants people to be knowing. Alternate translation: “so that all the people whom he has made will appreciate the great things that he does”
37:7 everyone stops working . . . watch his power: The ending of the agricultural work season gave people time to meditate on God’s providential control.
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.
