Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וַ֭תִּשְׁכַּח כִּי
and,forgets that/for/because/then/when
Yahweh is speaking of an ostrich as if it could consciously forget than an animal might crush her eggs if she left them on the ground. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and it does this even though”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
תְּזוּרֶ֑הָ & תְּדוּשֶֽׁהָ
crush,them & trample,them
The pronoun it refers in both of these instances to the ostrich’s eggs, which Yahweh described in the previous verse. It may be more natural in your language to use plural pronouns for the eggs. Alternate translation: “might crush them … might trample them”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
רֶ֣גֶל תְּזוּרֶ֑הָ
foot crush,them
Yahweh is using one part of an animal, its foot, to mean all of it in the act of stepping on the eggs of an ostrich. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “an animal might step on them”
39:13-18 In the ancient Near East, the ostrich had a reputation as a bird that God had deprived of wisdom.
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.
