בַּ֭אֲשֻׁרוֹ אָחֲזָ֣ה רַגְלִ֑י
(Some words not found in UHB: on,step_of,his held_fast foot_of,my its=road/course kept and=not turned_aside )
Job is speaking as if he has used his foot literally to hold onto each place where God had stepped. He means that he has walked exactly where God had walked, putting his feet down right where God put his feet down. Job is using this image to mean that he has obeyed God exactly. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have obeyed God exactly]

דַּרְכּ֖וֹ שָׁמַ֣רְתִּי וְלֹא־אָֽט
(Some words not found in UHB: on,step_of,his held_fast foot_of,my its=road/course kept and=not turned_aside )
Job is speaking of how God wants a person to live as if that were a way or path that the person should walk along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have lived consistently in the way God wants people to live]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
