UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

עֲ֭טִינָי⁠ו מָלְא֣וּ חָלָ֑ב

body_of,his full_of milk

Interpreters are not entirely sure of the meaning of the word translated as pails. One likely interpretation is that it describes pails that people would use to collect milk from their cattle. If that is the meaning, then Job is using one aspect of this person’s prosperity, the fact that his cattle give milk abundantly, to indicate that the person is prosperous in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [His cattle give milk abundantly] or [He is very prosperous]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וּ⁠מֹ֖חַ עַצְמוֹתָ֣י⁠ו יְשֻׁקֶּֽה

and,marrow_of bones_of,his moist

Job is using one aspect of this person’s health, the fact that the marrow of his bones is healthy, to indicate that the person is healthy in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he is very healthy]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יְשֻׁקֶּֽה

moist

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: [is moist]
