Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיָּ֣סֶךְ בִּדְלָתַ֣יִם יָ֑ם
and,enclosed in/on/at/with,doors sea
Yahweh is speaking as if he had literally used doors to keep the sea from flowing onto the land. The image is that the sea is behind a wall or dam and that these doors can be opened for flood-control purposes but are ordinarily closed to contain the water. You could retain the image in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And who held the sea back with floodgates” or “And who restrained the sea from flowing onto the land”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
בִּדְלָתַ֣יִם
in/on/at/with,doors
The term doors is in the dual, here and in verse 10, so put the term in the dual form if your language uses that form. Other languages may have other ways of expressing the meaning. Alternate translation: “with double doors”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
בְּ֝גִיח֗וֹ מֵרֶ֥חֶם יֵצֵֽא
in/on/at/with,burst_out,it from,womb went_out
It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “when it came out of the womb”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּ֝גִיח֗וֹ מֵרֶ֥חֶם יֵצֵֽא
in/on/at/with,burst_out,it from,womb went_out
Yahweh is speaking as if the sea had literally been born and come out of the womb of its mother. You could retain the image in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when it was born” or “when I first made it a part of the creation”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
