אֲשֶׁר־שַׂ֣מְתִּי עֲרָבָ֣ה בֵית֑וֹ וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֥יו מְלֵֽחָה
which/who given wilderness home,its and,dwelling_place,its salt_land
In some languages it may be more natural to mention the place first and then give the information that Yahweh had made this a place for wild donkeys to live in. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “I have made the Arabah his house, yes, I have made the salt land his habitations”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲשֶׁר־שַׂ֣מְתִּי עֲרָבָ֣ה בֵית֑וֹ
which/who given wilderness home,its
Yahweh is speaking as if the Arabah or desert were literally a house in which a wild donkey lived. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to whom I have given the Arabah as a place to live”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֥יו מְלֵֽחָה
and,dwelling_place,its salt_land
Yahweh 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 whose habitations I have made in the salt land”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֥יו מְלֵֽחָה
and,dwelling_place,its salt_land
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of habitations, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “yes, to whom I have given the salt land as a place to inhabit”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מְלֵֽחָה
salt_land
Yahweh is using the term salt land to refer by association to a particular area of the desert where there is much salt in the soil and, as a result, few plants can grow. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the barren land” or “the desert”
39:5-7 wild donkey . . . hates (literally scorns) the noise of the city: This is the first in a series of animals that scorn others who are their inferiors in some way (cp. 39:18, 22; 41:29). These images illustrate how God scorns the opposition of a man like Job (see Ps 2:4).

OET (OET-RV) I decided that the wilderness would be their home,
⇔ ≈and the salt-land to be where they live.
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.
