Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיְהִי֙ דְּבַ֣ר הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶל־שְׁמַעְיָ֥ה
and=he/it_was (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was message/matter_of the=ʼElohīm to/towards Shəmaˊyāh (a)_man the=ʼElohīm to=say )
See how you translated the similar expression in 6:11. Alternate translation: [But God spoke a message to Shemaiah]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים
(a)_man the=ʼElohīm
The author is using this possessive form to describe a man who was characterized by having a special mission from God, specifically, to be a prophet. (The author does not mean “a godly man,” although true prophets also were godly people.) If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the prophet]
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
