Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְאַחַ֣ר ע֭וֹרִֽי נִקְּפוּ־זֹ֑את
and=after skin,my destroyed this(f)
The pronoun they is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with an equivalent expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “and that after my skin has been stricken off”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְאַחַ֣ר ע֭וֹרִֽי נִקְּפוּ־זֹ֑את
and=after skin,my destroyed this(f)
Job is speaking as if someone or something might literally strike the skin off his bones. He could mean: (1) that his body will decay so that only the bones are left. Alternate translation: “and that even after my body decays so that only the bones are left” (2) that worms, such as he mentioned in 17:14, will eat the skin off his bones. Alternate translation: “and that even after worms eat the skin off my bones”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּ֝מִבְּשָׂרִ֗י
and,in,flesh,my
Job could be saying that he will behold God: (1) from the vantage point of his flesh, that is, from within his body. This would be an implicit expression of faith and confidence in the resurrection of the body. Alternate translation: “yet from my resurrected body” (2) apart from his flesh, that is, as a spirit after death. Alternate translation: “yet as a spirit after death”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶֽחֱזֶ֥ה אֱלֽוֹהַּ
see god
As the General Notes to chapter 13 discuss, in this culture, a subject would be able to look a sovereign in the face if the sovereign favored that subject. Job seems to be alluding here to that cultural norm. The implication is that God will no longer consider him guilty but acknowledge that he was innocent all along. Job indicates in the previous verse that God will also acknowledge his innocence publicly to everyone on earth. Alternate translation: “I will be able to look God in the face because he will affirm that I am innocent”
19:26 Job had faith that he would be vindicated even if death came first.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
