Yahweh causing much rain to fall in order to make the crops grow is spoken of as if Yahweh were opening windows in heaven through which he pours down rain. See how you translated this in 2 Kings 7:2. Alternate translation: “even if Yahweh were to cause much rain to fall from heaven”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) can this thing happen?
(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered the,captain DOM (a)_man the=ʼElohīm and,said and=see/lo/see! YHWH producing windows in/on/at/with,heaven ?,happen as_a,thing the=this and=he/it_said in_fact,you see in/on/at/with,eyes,your_own and=from=there not eat )
The captain asks this question to express his unbelief. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. See how you translated this in 2 Kings 7:2. Alternate translation: “this could never happen!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
(Occurrence 0) you will watch it happen with your own eyes
(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered the,captain DOM (a)_man the=ʼElohīm and,said and=see/lo/see! YHWH producing windows in/on/at/with,heaven ?,happen as_a,thing the=this and=he/it_said in_fact,you see in/on/at/with,eyes,your_own and=from=there not eat )
The phrase “with your own eyes” emphasizes that the captain will certainly see the things that Elisha prophesied. See how you translated this in 2 Kings 7:2. Alternate translation: “you yourself will watch these things happen”
(Occurrence 0) but you will not eat any of it
(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered the,captain DOM (a)_man the=ʼElohīm and,said and=see/lo/see! YHWH producing windows in/on/at/with,heaven ?,happen as_a,thing the=this and=he/it_said in_fact,you see in/on/at/with,eyes,your_own and=from=there not eat )
Alternate translation: “but you will not eat any of the flour or barley”
7:18-20 The repetition of Elisha’s previous conversation with Joram’s officer emphasizes the exact fulfillment of the prophecy.
OET (OET-LV) And_answered the_captain DOM the_man the_ʼElohīm and_said and_see/lo/see YHWH [is]_making windows in/on/at/with_heaven happen as_a_thing the_this and_he/it_said in_fact_you [are]_about_to_see in/on/at/with_eyes_your_own and_from_there not you_will_eat.
OET (OET-RV) the captain was the one who’d answered the man of God and had said that Yahweh would have to make windows in the sky to do that, and Elisha had told him that he’d see it, but wouldn’t be able to eat any of it.
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.
