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.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
בַּֽ֭חַלָּמִישׁ שָׁלַ֣ח יָד֑וֹ
in/on/at/with,flinty_rock Shalah his/its=hand
The pronouns He and his refer to a miner. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be more natural in your language to use plural forms. Alternate translation: “Miners stretch out their hands against flinty rock”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בַּֽ֭חַלָּמִישׁ שָׁלַ֣ח יָד֑וֹ הָפַ֖ךְ
in/on/at/with,flinty_rock Shalah his/its=hand overturns
The expression “stretch out one’s hand against” means to attack something. Job is saying that miners will attack, that is, break up even the hardest kinds of rock in search of valuable materials. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Miners break up even the hardest kinds of rock in search of valuable materials; they overturn”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הָפַ֖ךְ מִשֹּׁ֣רֶשׁ הָרִֽים
overturns by,roots mountains
Job is speaking of the ground below mountains as if it were the roots of those mountains. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, using a plural form: “they overturn mountains, digging deep below them”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
הָפַ֖ךְ מִשֹּׁ֣רֶשׁ הָרִֽים
overturns by,roots mountains
Job is speaking as if miners literally turn entire mountains upside down. He may be using the term mountains to represent great quantities of material. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, and once again it may be more natural in your language to use a plural form. Alternate translation: “miners dislodge great quantities of material from the depths of the earth”
