TSNTyndale Study Notes:

28:1-28 This section is a self-contained speech. No speaker is listed, so it could be a continuation of the preceding words. However, some consider this a poetic interlude by the author of Job that sums up the argument to this point, emphasizes the failure of human wisdom, and lays the foundation for the Lord’s speeches.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לַ⁠עֲשׂ֣וֹת לָ⁠ר֣וּחַ מִשְׁקָ֑ל

for=doing to_the,wind weight

Job is using the term weight to mean “force.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “When he determined the force of the wind”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ֝⁠מַ֗יִם תִּכֵּ֥ן בְּ⁠מִדָּֽה

and=water apportioned in/on/at/with,measure

Job is referring implicitly to the rain waters that clouds contain. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and apportioned rain waters to the clouds by measure”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ֝⁠מַ֗יִם תִּכֵּ֥ן בְּ⁠מִדָּֽה

and=water apportioned in/on/at/with,measure

Job is speaking as if God literally used a measure in order to put the right amount of rain waters in the clouds. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and carefully apportioned rain waters to the clouds”
