The pronouns He and he refer to a miner. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be more natural in your language to use plural forms. Alternate translation: “Miners bind the torrents from flowing, and they bring hidden things to light”

מִ֭⁠בְּכִי נְהָר֣וֹת חִבֵּ֑שׁ וְ֝⁠תַעֲלֻמָ֗הּ יֹ֣צִא אֽוֹר

from,sources rivers dams_up and,hidden_things bring light

Job is speaking as if a miner literally binds streams of water to keep them from flowing. He means that miners temporarily dam up streams or divert their flow to expose the materials that their waters usually hide. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Miners dam up or divert streams in order to expose what their waters usually hide”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֽוֹר

light

Job is using the term light by association to describe something that is in view, since people need light in order to see things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “into view”
