Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַיַּ֤עַן & וַיֹּ֫אמַ֥ר
and,answered & and,said
As the General Introduction to Job discusses, this phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells for what purpose a person said something. Specifically, the person said it in order to answer or respond to what someone else said. See how you have been translating this expression. Alternate translation: “And … responded”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְ֭יָמִים
in,years
Elihu is using the term days to refer to his age. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in age”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
וְאַתֶּ֣ם
and,you_all
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the word you is plural here because Elihu is addressing Job’s three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
