Taking a seat in the public square by the city gate was a symbolic action by which Job showed that he was a recognized community leader, a member of the council that settled legal matters for the city residents. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “when I took my seat in the square as a recognized community leader”
29:7 The city gate was a town’s administrative center (see Ruth 4:1-2, 11).
