JOB 33:20 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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 / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠נַפְשׁ֗⁠וֹ מַאֲכַ֥ל תַּאֲוָֽה

and,soul_of,his food_of favourite

Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and his soul abhors food of desire]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

חַיָּת֣⁠וֹ & וְ֝⁠נַפְשׁ֗⁠וֹ

life_of,his & and,soul_of,his

Elihu is using parts of a person, his life and his soul, to mean all of him in the act of abhorring food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he … and he abhors]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לָ֑חֶם

bread

Elihu is using one kind of food, bread, to mean food in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [food]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מַאֲכַ֥ל תַּאֲוָֽה

food_of favourite

Elihu is using this possessive form to describe food that a person would especially desire, not food that belongs to desire. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [desirable food] or [delicacies]
