OET (OET-LV)And_he/it_took to_him/it a_potsherd to_scrape in/on/over_him/it and_he [was]_sitting in_the_middle the_ashes.

OET (OET-RV)Iyyov picked up a piece of broken pottery to scratch himself with as he sat down in the middle of a pile of ashes.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

חֶ֔רֶשׂ

potsherd

A shard was a piece of broken pottery. It had sharp edges, so Job could scrape himself with it. If your readers would not be familiar with what a shard is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a sharp fragment of pottery”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠הִתְגָּרֵ֖ד

to,scrape

The implication is that Job would scrape himself with the shard to clean his skin and to reduce the itching of the boils. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “to scrape himself to clean his skin and to reduce the itching of the boils”

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

וְ⁠ה֖וּא יֹשֵׁ֥ב בְּ⁠תוֹךְ־הָ⁠אֵֽפֶר

and=he was_sitting in_the=middle the,ashes

In this culture, there was place outside the city where rubbish was brought and burned to dispose of it. This left a pile of ashes. Job was sitting in that pile as a symbolic action to show how distressed he was. It was a way of signifying that he no longer felt his life was worth anything. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of his action. Alternate translation: “he was sitting in the midst of the ash pile outside the city to show how distressed he was”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:8 Job might have scraped his skin to relieve itching; the Greek Old Testament says that it was “to scrape away the pus.”
• The ashes might refer to a place where lepers were quarantined, but Job was probably demonstrating his grief and dismay (30:19; Gen 18:27; 2 Sam 13:19; Isa 58:5; Jon 3:6).
