OET interlinear JOB 39:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְגַמֶּא־אָ֑רֶץ

(Some words not found in UHB: with,shaking and,excitement swallows ground and=not stand_still that/for/because/then/when sound/voice trumpet )

Yahweh is speaking as if a horse literally swallows the ground when it runs fast over it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [it races over the ground] or [it gallops across the ground]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

בְּ⁠רַ֣עַשׁ וְ֭⁠רֹגֶז

(Some words not found in UHB: with,shaking and,excitement swallows ground and=not stand_still that/for/because/then/when sound/voice trumpet )

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word rage tells why the horse is shaking. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation, preceded by a comma: [shaking with rage]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּי־ק֥וֹל שׁוֹפָֽר

(Some words not found in UHB: with,shaking and,excitement swallows ground and=not stand_still that/for/because/then/when sound/voice trumpet )

Yahweh is referring implicitly to when someone would blow a horn to signal that the army should advance into battle. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [when it hears a horn sound the battle call]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יַ֝אֲמִ֗ין

and=not stand_still

Yahweh is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of his intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and it charges forward]
