(Some words not found in UHB: when,raises_~_up,he terrified mighty because_of,thrashing retreat )
Yahweh is speaking as if a scale were literally a man and the scale next to it were literally his brother. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Each scale is joined together with the scale next to it”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אִישׁ־בְּאָחִ֥יהוּ יְדֻבָּ֑קוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: when,raises_~_up,he terrified mighty because_of,thrashing retreat )
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Each scale closely adjoins the scale next to it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
יִ֝תְלַכְּד֗וּ וְלֹ֣א יִתְפָּרָֽדוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: when,raises_~_up,he terrified mighty because_of,thrashing retreat )
Yahweh is speaking of the scales of Leviathan as if they were living things that could clasp themselves together and potentially separate themselves (although they do not). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they overlap, with no separation between them”
