uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֭⁠אֵלַ⁠י דָּבָ֣ר יְגֻנָּ֑ב

and,to,me word came_stealing

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: [Now someone brought a word to me secretly]

Note 2 topic: writing-background

וְ֭⁠אֵלַ⁠י

and,to,me

Eliphaz is using the word translated Now to introduce background information that will help Job understand what he says next. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דָּבָ֣ר

word

Eliphaz is using the term word to mean a message that was communicated to him by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a message]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וַ⁠תִּקַּ֥ח אָ֝זְנִ֗⁠י

and=she/it_took ear_of,my

Eliphaz is using one part of himself, his ear, to mean all of him in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I heard]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
