OET (OET-RV) “That’s impossible,” interjected the captain at the king’s side. “Yahweh would have to make windows in the sky.”
¶ “Oh, it’ll happen,” the man of God answered, “and you’ll see it with your own eyes, but you won’t get to eat any of it.”

A high ranking captain who was the king’s personal assistant is spoken of as if he was a person on whom the king leaned his hand. Alternate translation: “the captain who was close to the king” or “the captain who was the king’s personal assistant”

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. Alternate translation: “even if Yahweh were to cause much rain to fall from heaven”

(Occurrence 0) can this thing happen?
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered the,officer which/who to/for=the_king leaned on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=hand DOM (a)_man the=ʼElohīm and,he_said see/lo/see!

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered the,officer which/who to/for=the_king leaned on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=hand DOM (a)_man the=ʼElohīm and,he_said see/lo/see! YHWH producing windows in,heavens will,it_happen? the,thing the=this and=he/it_said here,you see with,your_two's_own_of,eyes and=from=there not eat )

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.
