JOB 28:13 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 as a tool 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: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

לֹא־יָדַ֣ע אֱנ֣וֹשׁ

not knowing Enosh/humankind

Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [People do not know]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עֶרְכָּ֑⁠הּ

worth_of,its

The word translated disposition could mean implicitly: (1) where God has put wisdom. Alternate translation: [its location] (2) the value of wisdom. Alternate translation: [its price]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

עֶרְכָּ֑⁠הּ

worth_of,its

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the pronoun it refers to wisdom here and through the rest of the chapter. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers at various points in your translation. Alternate translation: [the disposition of wisdom]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠לֹ֥א תִ֝מָּצֵ֗א

and=not found

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: [nor can anyone find it]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

בְּ⁠אֶ֣רֶץ הַֽ⁠חַיִּֽים

in=land the,living

Job is using the adjective living as a noun to mean a certain group of people, those who are alive on earth. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [among the people who live on earth]
