Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְהִנֵּ֥ה אֵלִיָּ֖הוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ˊOⱱadyāh on,way and=see/lo/see! ʼĒliyyāh to,meet,him and,he,recognized_him and,he_fell on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=faces/face and=he/it_said ?,you this my=master ʼĒliyyāh )
See the discussion in the Introduction to 1 Kings of this sense of the word behold. Alternate translation: [and suddenly Elijah]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיַּכִּרֵ֨הוּ֙ וַיִּפֹּ֣ל עַל־פָּנָ֔יו
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ˊOⱱadyāh on,way and=see/lo/see! ʼĒliyyāh to,meet,him and,he,recognized_him and,he_fell on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=faces/face and=he/it_said ?,you this my=master ʼĒliyyāh )
In each instance, the pronoun he refers to Obadiah. The pronoun him refers to Elijah. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Obadiah recognized Elijah, and Obadiah fell on his face]
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
וַיִּפֹּ֣ל עַל־פָּנָ֔יו
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ˊOⱱadyāh on,way and=see/lo/see! ʼĒliyyāh to,meet,him and,he,recognized_him and,he_fell on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=faces/face and=he/it_said ?,you this my=master ʼĒliyyāh )
Be sure that it is clear in your translation that Obadiah did not fall down accidentally. He knelt down in front of Elijah, pressing his face to the ground, as a gesture to honor him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [and he knelt down and pressed his face to the ground in front of Elijah in order to show him great honor]

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.
