?,entered to/towards storehouses snow and,storehouses hail seen
People in this culture believed that natural forces were kept in chambers or storerooms. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate this with an equivalent expression that uses terms that reflect your own culture’s understanding of creation. Alternate translation: “Have you traveled into the sky, where snow and hail form”
38:22-23 Snow and hail are kept in divine storehouses such as those for the deep seas and winds (Pss 33:7; 135:7; Jer 10:13; 51:16). God uses these elements as weapons (Job 36:32; Isa 30:30; Ezek 13:11-13; Rev 16:21) in the storms he sends on the day of battle and war (e.g., Josh 10:11; Judg 5:20-21; 1 Sam 7:10).
