(Some words not found in UHB: with,life_of,our get bread_of,our from=face/in_front_of sword_of of,the_wilderness )
The writer is using from the face of as a common expression of the culture to mean “because of.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly here and in verse 10. Alternate translation: [because of]

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.
