JOB 24:2 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

גְּבֻל֥וֹת יַשִּׂ֑יגוּ

landmarks remove

The pronoun They refers to wicked people, not to “the ones knowing” God, as it does in the previous verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. The pronoun they in the second part of the verse also refers to wicked people, and that is also the reference in the next two verses. Alternate translation: “Wicked people remove boundary markers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גְּבֻל֥וֹת יַשִּׂ֑יגוּ

landmarks remove

Job implicitly means that wicked people steal land from others by removing the boundary markers that indicate property lines and arguing that their property extends farther into their neighbor’s land than it actually does. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “They steal land from others by removing boundary markers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

עֵ֥דֶר גָּ֝זְל֗וּ וַ⁠יִּרְעֽוּ

flocks seize and,pasture

Job is not referring to a specific flock. He means flocks in general that wicked people steal from vulnerable people such as widows and orphans, whom he names specifically in the next verse. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “they seize flocks and pasture them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּרְעֽוּ

and,pasture

Job implicitly means that wicked people steal flocks from others and pasture them with their own flocks as if they had owned them all along. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and put others’ animals in with their own as if those animals belonged to them”
