Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
בַּ֭צּוּרוֹת יְאֹרִ֣ים בִּקֵּ֑עַ וְכָל־יְ֝קָ֗ר רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֽוֹ
in/on/at/with,rocks channels cuts_out and=all treasure sees eyes,his
The pronouns He and his refer to a miner. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be more natural in your language to use plural forms. Alternate translation: “Miners cut out channels among the rocks, and their eyes see every valuable thing”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֽוֹ
sees eyes,his
Job is using one part of a miner, his eye, to mean all of him in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he sees” or “they see”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְכָל־יְ֝קָ֗ר
and=all treasure
Job says every here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “and … the many valuable things that the rocks contain”
28:1-28 This section is a self-contained speech. No speaker is listed, so it could be a continuation of the preceding words. However, some consider this a poetic interlude by the author of Job that sums up the argument to this point, emphasizes the failure of human wisdom, and lays the foundation for the Lord’s speeches.
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.
