Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

הַ⁠בָּקָר֙ הָי֣וּ חֹֽרְשׁ֔וֹת וְ⁠הָ⁠אֲתֹנ֖וֹת רֹע֥וֹת עַל־יְדֵי⁠הֶֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,messenger he/it_came to/towards ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) and,said the,oxen they_were plowing and,the,donkeys feeding on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hands_of,them )

The messenger is giving background information to help Job understand what he reports next. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַל־יְדֵי⁠הֶֽם

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hands_of,them

This expression uses the word hand to mean the side of a person, animal, or group of animals. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “at their side” or “next to them”
