UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲֽ֝⁠לֹא־בַ֭⁠בֶּטֶן עֹשֵׂ֣⁠נִי עָשָׂ֑⁠הוּ וַ֝⁠יְכֻנֶ֗⁠נּוּ בָּ⁠רֶ֥חֶם אֶחָֽד

?,not in/on/at/with,womb made,me make,them and,fashion,us in/on/at/with,womb one(ms)

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “After all, the one who made me in the belly also made him. Indeed, the same person fashioned us both in the womb.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

עָשָׂ֑⁠הוּ

make,them

Although the pronoun him is masculine, Job is using the word in a generic sense that refers both to the “male servant” and “female servant” whom he describes in verse 13. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression in your language that would indicate this. Alternate translation: “Did … make my male servant and my female servant” or “Did … make them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

וַ֝⁠יְכֻנֶ֗⁠נּוּ & אֶחָֽד

and,fashion,us & one(ms)

By us, Job means himself and his servants but not the friends to whom he is speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
