UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠נֶחְבָּ֑אוּ

and,withdrew

This expression does not mean that these young men looked for hiding places where no one would find them. It means that they moved back from the place where the leaders sat, blending into the crowd. The idea is that before Job came, they thought they might have something to contribute to the deliberations after their elders had spoken, as Elihu does in this book starting in chapter 32. But once Job arrived, they knew that his wise counsel would settle matters and they would have no need or opportunity to contribute. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and withdrew” or “and stepped aside out of respect”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

וִֽ֝⁠ישִׁישִׁים קָ֣מוּ עָמָֽדוּ

and,aged rose_up stood

Rising and standing when Job arrived was a symbolic action that showed respect for his wisdom and place in the community. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “and old men rose and stood out of respect for me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

קָ֣מוּ עָמָֽדוּ

rose_up stood

The terms rose and stood mean similar things. Job is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “stood to their feet”
