22:12 Note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲֽלֹא־אֱ֭לוֹהַּ גֹּ֣בַהּ שָׁמָ֑יִם
?,not god high heavens
Eliphaz is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “God is in the height of the heavens!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
גֹּ֣בַהּ שָׁמָ֑יִם
high heavens
Eliphaz is using this possessive form to describe the highest part of the heavens. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “in the highest heaven” or “in heaven, above the sky”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וּרְאֵ֤ה רֹ֖אשׁ כּוֹכָבִ֣ים כִּי־רָֽמּוּ
and,see head stars that/for/because/then/when lofty
In this context, the word head means “height.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And behold how high the stars are”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּרְאֵ֤ה רֹ֖אשׁ כּוֹכָבִ֣ים כִּי־רָֽמּוּ
and,see head stars that/for/because/then/when lofty
The implication is that since God is above the stars, and the stars are very high up, the highest things that people can see, then God must be supremely high. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “God is even above the stars, even though those are the highest things that we can see”
22:12-14 That’s why: Job had not claimed that God can’t see, but others have (Pss 10:11; 73:11; 94:7).
OET (OET-LV) Not [is]_god [the]_height of_heaven and_see [the]_top[fn] of_[the]_stars if/because_that they_are_high.
22:12 Note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.
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.
