UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

רַ֣ב זַרְעֶ֑⁠ךָ

great//chief/captain offspring,your

Here, seed means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your descendants will be many”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠צֶאֱצָאֶ֗י⁠ךָ כְּ⁠עֵ֣שֶׂב הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

and,descendants,your like,grass the=earth/land

Eliphaz 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. Alternate translation: “and that your offspring will be like the grass of the earth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ֝⁠צֶאֱצָאֶ֗י⁠ךָ כְּ⁠עֵ֣שֶׂב הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

and,descendants,your like,grass the=earth/land

The point of this comparison is that just as the grass of the earth is very plentiful, so Job will have a large number of offspring. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “and that your offspring will be very numerous, like the grass of the earth”
