OET (OET-RV) After dawn, the earth takes shape like clay when a seal is pressed into it,
⇔ and its features stand out like folds in a cloak.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ & וְ֝יִֽתְיַצְּב֗וּ
changed & and,stand_out
The pronoun it refers to the earth and the pronoun they refers to the features of the earth. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “The earth is changed … and its features stand out”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ כְּחֹ֣מֶר חוֹתָ֑ם
changed like,clay seal
The point of this comparison is that just as plain clay takes on distinct features when it is pressed under a seal, so the features of the earth become distinct in the light of day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “Its features change from indistinct to distinct, just as clay takes on distinct features when it is pressed under a seal”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ
changed
Yahweh means implicitly that this happens at dawn. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “When the light of day shines on it, it is changed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ
changed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The light of day changes it”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
כְּמ֣וֹ לְבֽוּשׁ
like garment
Yahweh is using the term garment by association to mean the folds of a garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “like the folds of a garment”
38:14 it is robed in brilliant colors: The rising sun brings out the colors, shapes, and textures of things.
