Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
טָמְנֵ֣ם בֶּעָפָ֣ר יָ֑חַד
hide,them in/on/at/with,dust together
Yahweh is using the term dust, meaning the ground, by association to mean graves in which people are buried. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Bury them all in the ground” or “Bury them all in graves”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
טָמְנֵ֣ם בֶּעָפָ֣ר יָ֑חַד
hide,them in/on/at/with,dust together
The implication is that Job should first judge and punish proud and wicked people, executing them for their crimes, and then bury them, if he wishes to judge the world as Yahweh would do. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Judge and execute all proud and wicked people for their crimes”
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
פְּ֝נֵיהֶ֗ם חֲבֹ֣שׁ בַּטָּמֽוּן
faces,their bind in/on/at/with,grave
Yahweh is referring to a cultural practice. This could mean: (1) the action of wrapping the head separately from the rest of the body when preparing a body for burial. Yahweh would be using this action to mean the entire act of burial, and this second part of the verse would mean the same thing as the first part of the verse. Alternate translation: “bury them in the hidden place” (2) the symbolic action of covering the face of a person who was about to be executed. (There is an example of this in the Bible in Esther 7:8.) The face represented the person, and the fact that it could no longer be seen indicated that soon the person would no longer be alive. Yahweh would be using the covering of the face to mean the entire act of executing such criminals. Alternate translation: “execute them and put them in the hidden place”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
בַּטָּמֽוּן
in/on/at/with,grave
Yahweh is using the adjective hidden as a noun to mean a certain kind of place, the grave, into which people cannot see. The ULT adds the word place to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “in the grave” or “in the abode of the dead”
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.
