TSNTyndale Study Notes:

29:18 after a long, good life (literally after I have counted my days like sand): Job thought the length of his years would signify God’s blessing, like the great number of Abraham’s offspring (Gen 15:5; 32:12) or the abundance of Joseph’s supplies in Egypt (Gen 41:49).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וָ֭⁠אֹמַר עִם־קִנִּ֣⁠י אֶגְוָ֑ע וְ֝⁠כַ⁠ח֗וֹל אַרְבֶּ֥ה יָמִֽים

and,thought with nest,my die and,as_the,sand I_will_increase days

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “And I said that I would expire in my nest and that I would multiply days like sand”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וָ֭⁠אֹמַר עִם־קִנִּ֣⁠י אֶגְוָ֑ע וְ֝⁠כַ⁠ח֗וֹל אַרְבֶּ֥ה יָמִֽים

and,thought with nest,my die and,as_the,sand I_will_increase days

Since Job would live a long life before expiring, it might be more natural to put the second phrase before the first one. Alternate translation: “I will multiply days like sand, and then I will expire in my nest”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

אֶגְוָ֑ע

die

See how you translated the term expire in 3:11. Alternate translation: “I will pass away”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עִם־קִנִּ֣⁠י

with nest,my

Job is speaking of his home as if it were literally a nest such as a bird would live in. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in my own home”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ֝⁠כַ⁠ח֗וֹל אַרְבֶּ֥ה יָמִֽים

and,as_the,sand I_will_increase days

The point of this comparison is that just as sand consists of a very large number of grains, so Job expected to live for a very large number of days. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “after I have lived for very many days” or “after I have lived for a long time”
