Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְ֝נַפְשׁ֗וֹ מַאֲכַ֥ל תַּאֲוָֽה
and,soul,his food favourite
Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and his soul abhors food of desire”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
חַיָּת֣וֹ & וְ֝נַפְשׁ֗וֹ
life,his & and,soul,his
Elihu is using parts of a person, his life and his soul, to mean all of him in the act of abhorring food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he … and he abhors”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לָ֑חֶם
bread
Elihu is using one kind of food, bread, to mean food in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “food”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
מַאֲכַ֥ל תַּאֲוָֽה
food favourite
Elihu is using this possessive form to describe food that a person would especially desire, not food that belongs to desire. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “desirable food” or “delicacies”
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.
