Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בִּרְחֹ֣ץ הֲלִיכַ֣י בְּחֵמָ֑ה וְצ֥וּר יָצ֥וּק עִ֝מָּדִ֗י פַּלְגֵי־שָֽׁמֶן
in/on/at/with,washed steps,my in/on/at/with,butter and,rock poured_out with=me streams oil
Job is speaking as if his herds used to produce so much milk that there was butter everywhere he went, so that when he walked anywhere, it was as if his feet were literally being bathed in butter. He is also speaking as if his olive trees used to produce so many olives that it was as if there were literally streams of oil coming to him out of the rocks. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when my herds produced milk in great abundance and my olive trees yielded great quantities of oil for me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
בִּרְחֹ֣ץ הֲלִיכַ֣י בְּחֵמָ֑ה
in/on/at/with,washed steps,my in/on/at/with,butter
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: “when butter bathed my steps”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
וְצ֥וּר
and,rock
Job is not referring to a specific rock. He means rocks in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “and the rocks”
OET (OET-LV) In/on/at/with_washed steps_my in/on/at/with_butter and_rock it_poured_out with_me streams of_oil.
OET (OET-RV) When my path was greased with butter,

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.
