Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
בַּ֭רְזֶל מֵעָפָ֣ר יֻקָּ֑ח
iron from,earth taken
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “People take iron from the dust”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
מֵעָפָ֣ר
from,earth
Job is using one part of the ground, the dust on its surface, to mean the ground itself. Iron is actually taken from deep in the ground. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the ground”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְ֝אֶ֗בֶן יָצ֥וּק נְחוּשָֽׁה
and=stone_of smelted copper
Job is speaking of the ore from which copper is smelted as stone, since that ore is a type of stone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and people smelt copper from ore”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
וְ֝אֶ֗בֶן יָצ֥וּק נְחוּשָֽׁה
and=stone_of smelted copper
The term “smelt” means to break ore into pieces and to use great heat to melt it so that a metal such as copper will separate from it. If your readers would not be familiar with the process of smelting, you could describe it with a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “and people break up ore and melt it in order to extract copper from it”
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.
