The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּ֭י

that/for/because/then/when

Elihu is using the word For to introduce the immediate reason why he has been saying that God is powerful and wise. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “We can see how powerful and wise God is from the way that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יְגָרַ֣ע נִטְפֵי־מָ֑יִם

draws_up drops water

Elihu is referring implicitly to the way God draws up water from the earth and sea as mist into the air. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “he makes drops of water rise into the air as mist”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠אֵדֽ⁠וֹ

into,mist,its

Elihu is speaking as if the water that evaporates from the earth and sea literally forms a stream in the sky that supplies clouds with rainwater. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “into God’s supply” or “into the clouds”
