OET (OET-LV) and_ ʼElīshāˊ _he/it_said hear the_word_of YHWH thus YHWH he_says about_this_time tomorrow a_seah fine_flour in/on/at/with_shekel and_seahs barley(s) in/on/at/with_shekel in/on/at/with_gate_of Shomrōn.
OET (OET-RV) “Listen to what Yahweh says,” Elisha responded, “Yahweh says that at this time tomorrow, a drum of flour will be sold for a shekel, and two drums of barley will be sold for for a shekel at the city gate.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼElīshāˊ hear word/matter_of YHWH thus he/it_had_said YHWH about_this,time tomorrow seah fine_flour in/on/at/with,shekel and,seahs barley in/on/at/with,shekel in/on/at/with,gate_of Shomrōn )
It is implied that the Israelites will be paying less money for these item than they had been. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people will sell a measure of fine flour for a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel” (See also: figs-activepassive)
Note 2 topic: translate-bvolume
(Occurrence 0) a measure of fine flour … two measures of barley
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼElīshāˊ hear word/matter_of YHWH thus he/it_had_said YHWH about_this,time tomorrow seah fine_flour in/on/at/with,shekel and,seahs barley in/on/at/with,shekel in/on/at/with,gate_of Shomrōn )
Here the word “measure” translates the word “seah,” which is a unit of dry measurement equal to about 7 liters. Alternate translation: “7 liters of fine flour … 14 liters of barley”
Note 3 topic: translate-bmoney
(Occurrence 0) a shekel
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼElīshāˊ hear word/matter_of YHWH thus he/it_had_said YHWH about_this,time tomorrow seah fine_flour in/on/at/with,shekel and,seahs barley in/on/at/with,shekel in/on/at/with,gate_of Shomrōn )
A shekel is a unit of weight equal to about 11 grams. Alternate translation: “about 11 grams of silver” or “one silver coin”
7:1 This is what the Lord says: Despite Joram’s pessimism and hostility, Elisha brought a message of hope. Tomorrow would bring a complete change in conditions, with good products again available.
• twelve quarts . . . only one piece of silver: Cp. with the prices in 6:25.

OET (OET-RV) “Listen to what Yahweh says,” Elisha responded, “Yahweh says that at this time tomorrow, a drum of flour will be sold for a shekel, and two drums of barley will be sold for for a shekel at the city gate.”
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.
