Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted 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 / nominaladj

יָת֣וֹם

orphan

Job is using the adjective fatherless as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the fatherless person] or [the orphan]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

יָת֣וֹם

orphan

Job is not referring to a specific fatherless person. He means any orphan who might have needed food. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [any orphan who might have needed food]
