עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ
pillars heaven tremble and,astounded at,rebuke,his
Many interpreters believe that here Job is speaking of high mountains as if they were the pillars of the heavens, since they appear to hold up the sky. Job would also be speaking as if God were literally issuing a rebuke to the mountains and that in response, they tremble and marvel. The reference may be to an earthquake, which causes mountains to shake. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God sends earthquakes that make even the high mountains shake”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ
tremble and,astounded
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word marvel, a reference to being astonished by the power of God, tells why the pillars of the heavens tremble. 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: “shake with fear”
26:11 Mountains at the edge of the horizon might be the foundations (or “pillars,” Judg 16:25-26) of heaven or the earth (Job 9:6). They were thought to reach from below the waters of the sea (Jon 2:6) and up to the clouds to support the vaults of heaven.
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.
