TSNTyndale Study Notes:

38:24-27 The east wind blows off the desert to scorch crops (Gen 41:6, 23, 27; Jer 4:11; Jon 4:8) and dry up seas (Exod 14:21; Isa 11:15). It is an arid contrast to the torrents of rain that cause flooding.
• Beneficial rain to satisfy the parched ground (Pss 104:10-11; 107:35; Isa 35:7; 58:11) stands in contrast to both scorching winds (Job 38:24) and flooding rains (38:25).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יֵחָ֣לֶק א֑וֹר

distributed light

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “to the place from which the light radiates”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יָפֵ֖ץ קָדִ֣ים עֲלֵי־אָֽרֶץ

scattered east_wind upon earth

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “What is the way to the place from which the east wind scatters over the earth”
