UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Who has comprehended the mind of Yahweh, or instructed him as his counselor?

(Some words not found in UHB: who? directed DOM spirit YHWH and,man counsel,his instructed,him )

This rhetorical question anticipates a negative answer and emphasizes that no one is able to do these things. Alternate translation: “No one has comprehended the mind of Yahweh, and no one has instructed him as his counselor.”

(Occurrence 0) comprehended the mind of Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: who? directed DOM spirit YHWH and,man counsel,his instructed,him )

Here the word “mind” refers not only to Yahweh’s thoughts, but also to his desires and motivations.
