OET (OET-LV) And_know if/because_that [will_be]_many offspring_your and_descendants_your like_grass the_earth/land.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
רַ֣ב זַרְעֶ֑ךָ
great//chief/captain offspring,your
Here, seed means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your descendants will be many”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְ֝צֶאֱצָאֶ֗יךָ כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ
and,descendants,your like,grass the=earth/land
Eliphaz 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 that your offspring will be like the grass of the earth”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וְ֝צֶאֱצָאֶ֗יךָ כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ
and,descendants,your like,grass the=earth/land
The point of this comparison is that just as the grass of the earth is very plentiful, so Job will have a large number of offspring. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “and that your offspring will be very numerous, like the grass of the earth”
5:25 descendants . . . as plentiful as grass: See Gen 22:17; Lev 26:9; Deut 28:4, 11-12.

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.
