Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
זַרְעָ֤ם נָכ֣וֹן
children,their established
Here, seed means “children.” Alternate translation: “Their children are established”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
זַרְעָ֤ם נָכ֣וֹן
children,their established
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: “Their children grow up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם
in,presence,their
Here the word faces represents the presence of people by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: “in their presence” or “in their homes”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְ֝צֶאֱצָאֵיהֶ֗ם לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם
and,offspring,their before,eyes,their
Job is using the term eyes by association to mean sight. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and their descendants in their sight” or “and their descendants where they can see them”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְ֝צֶאֱצָאֵיהֶ֗ם לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם
and,offspring,their before,eyes,their
Job 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 their descendants grow up where they can see them”
