OET interlinear 2 KI 6:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

פְּקַח & אֶת־עֵינָ֖י⁠ו וְ⁠יִרְאֶ֑ה וַ⁠יִּפְקַ֤ח יְהוָה֙ אֶת־עֵינֵ֣י הַ⁠נַּ֔עַר וַ⁠יַּ֗רְא

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_prayed ʼElīshāˊ and,he_said YHWH open now DOM eyes_of,his so,that_he_may_see and,he_opened YHWH DOM both_eyes_of of,the_servant and=he/it_saw and=see/lo/see! the,hill full horses and,chariotry_of fire all_around_of ʼElīshāˊ )

Elisha is speaking as if his servant’s physical eyes were actually closed. He is using eyes to represent the ability to perceive spiritual realities. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [give him spiritual vision, that he may see spiritual things … And Yahweh gave the servant spiritual vision, and he was able to see spiritual things]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָ⁠הָ֜ר

the,hill

By the hill, the author means the hill on which the city of Dothan was built. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the hill on which Dothan stood]
