OET (OET-RV) if the poor haven’t blessed me,
⇔ or they haven’t warmed themselves with wool from my sheep,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
אִם־לֹ֣א בֵרֲכ֣וּנִי חֲלָצָ֑יו וּמִגֵּ֥ז כְּ֝בָשַׂי יִתְחַמָּֽם
if not blessed,me (Some words not found in UHB: if not blessed,me loins,his and,with,fleece sheep,my warmed )
Since this representative needy person may have first warmed himself with a garment that Job provided and then blessed Job for this practical help, it may be more natural to reverse the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “if he has not warmed himself from the wool of my sheep and blessed me for my kindness”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אִם־לֹ֣א בֵרֲכ֣וּנִי חֲלָצָ֑יו
if not blessed,me (Some words not found in UHB: if not blessed,me loins,his and,with,fleece sheep,my warmed )
Job is using one part of this representative needy person, his loins, to mean all of him in the act of blessing Job. Job probably chooses the waist area to symbolize this person because that is the area that a person who needed clothing would cover first. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if he has not blessed me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וּמִגֵּ֥ז כְּ֝בָשַׂי
and,with,fleece sheep,my
Job is using this phrase by association to mean a garment that someone in his household would have woven from wool that his sheep had produced. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and … with a warm woolen garment that I provided”
31:1-40 Job called down curses on himself if he were guilty of the accusations made against him. Except for his mention of idolatry (31:26-27), Job addressed his fidelity to God in terms of the second half of the Ten Commandments, summarized by the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev 19:18; Rom 13:9).
