OET interlinear JOB 23:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִֽי־יִתֵּ֣ן יָ֭דַעְתִּי וְ⁠אֶמְצָאֵ֑⁠הוּ

who? (Some words not found in UHB: who? he/it_gave I_know and,I,will_find_him come until place_of,his )

See how you translated the expression Who will give in 11:5–6. Alternate translation: [I wish that I knew and I would find him!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

יָ֭דַעְתִּי וְ⁠אֶמְצָאֵ֑⁠הוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: who? he/it_gave I_know and,I,will_find_him come until place_of,his )

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word knew tells in what way Job would be able to find God. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [I knew where to find him]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

יָ֭דַעְתִּי וְ⁠אֶמְצָאֵ֑⁠הוּ & תְּכוּנָתֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: who? he/it_gave I_know and,I,will_find_him come until place_of,his )

The pronouns him and his refer to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [I knew where to find God … the place where God lives]
