OET interlinear JOB 38:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

פִלַּ֣ג לַ⁠שֶּׁ֣טֶף תְּעָלָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: who? cuts for,flood channel and,a_path for_[the],storm_of thunder )

Yahweh is speaking as if a channel had literally been cut in the sky in order to direct the downpour of rain to certain locations (such as the next two verses describe). If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [made sure that rain would fall in certain places]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠דֶ֗רֶךְ לַ⁠חֲזִ֥יז קֹלֽוֹת

and,a_path for_[the],storm_of thunder

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [or who made a way for the lightning of the thunder]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ֝⁠דֶ֗רֶךְ לַ⁠חֲזִ֥יז קֹלֽוֹת

and,a_path for_[the],storm_of thunder

Yahweh seems to be using this possessive form to mean both lightning and thunder, and he seems to be using both of them to mean the thunderstorm in which they would occur. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [or who made a way for the thunderstorm] or [or who directed the thunderstorm to the right place]
