UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

לָ⁠אֶבְיֽוֹן

for_the,needy

Job is using the adjective needy 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: “for a needy person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לָ⁠אֶבְיֽוֹן

for_the,needy

Job is not referring to a specific needy person. He means any person who might have needed a covering, probably meaning an outer garment that would also have served as a blanket. You could indicate in your translation whom Job means if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “for any person who needed one”
