JOB 34:13 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 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 / rquestion

מִֽי־פָקַ֣ד עָלָ֣י⁠ו אָ֑רְצָ⁠ה וּ⁠מִ֥י שָׂ֝֗ם תֵּבֵ֥ל כֻּלָּֽ⁠הּ

who? gave_~_charge on/upon/above=him/it earth,over and,who laid world whole,him

Elihu is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “God did not need anyone to appoint him over the earth or to set all of the world under his dominion!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠מִ֥י שָׂ֝֗ם תֵּבֵ֥ל כֻּלָּֽ⁠הּ

and,who laid world whole,him

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 who set the world, all of it, under his dominion”
