OET interlinear JOB 2:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went_out the,adversary from,with face/surface_of YHWH and,he_struck DOM ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) with,boil[s] loathsome from,the_sole_of his_foot_of,his and,to of_his_head_of,the_crown )

Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. See how you translated the similar expression in 1:12. Alternate translation: [the presence of Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יַּ֤ךְ אֶת־אִיּוֹב֙ בִּ⁠שְׁחִ֣ין רָ֔ע

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went_out the,adversary from,with face/surface_of YHWH and,he_struck DOM ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) with,boil[s] loathsome from,the_sole_of his_foot_of,his and,to of_his_head_of,the_crown )

The author is speaking as if the adversary literally struck Job with these boils, as if they were a weapon in his hand. He means that the adversary caused Job to suffer from the boils. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he afflicted Job with bad boils] or [he caused Job to suffer from bad boils]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

בִּ⁠שְׁחִ֣ין רָ֔ע

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went_out the,adversary from,with face/surface_of YHWH and,he_struck DOM ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) with,boil[s] loathsome from,the_sole_of his_foot_of,his and,to of_his_head_of,the_crown )

The word boils describes large, itching, painful skin infections. If your readers would not be familiar with what boils are, in your translation you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [with large, itching, painful skin infections]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מִ⁠כַּ֥ף רַגְל֖⁠וֹ עד קָדְקֳדֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went_out the,adversary from,with face/surface_of YHWH and,he_struck DOM ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) with,boil[s] loathsome from,the_sole_of his_foot_of,his and,to of_his_head_of,the_crown )

The author is using the extreme ends of Job’s body, the sole of his foot and his pate (that is, the top of his head), to mean those parts and everything in between. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [over his entire body]
