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: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בַּ֭רְזֶל מֵ⁠עָפָ֣ר יֻקָּ֑ח

iron from,earth taken

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: “People take iron from the dust”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מֵ⁠עָפָ֣ר

from,earth

Job is using one part of the ground, the dust on its surface, to mean the ground itself. Iron is actually taken from deep in the ground. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the ground”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ֝⁠אֶ֗בֶן יָצ֥וּק נְחוּשָֽׁה

and=stone_of smelted copper

Job is speaking of the ore from which copper is smelted as stone, since that ore is a type of stone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and people smelt copper from ore”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

וְ֝⁠אֶ֗בֶן יָצ֥וּק נְחוּשָֽׁה

and=stone_of smelted copper

The term “smelt” means to break ore into pieces and to use great heat to melt it so that a metal such as copper will separate from it. If your readers would not be familiar with the process of smelting, you could describe it with a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “and people break up ore and melt it in order to extract copper from it”
