JOB 36:22 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 / explicit

הֶן־אֵ֭ל יַשְׂגִּ֣יב בְּ⁠כֹח֑⁠וֹ

see god exalted in/on/at/with,power,his

This could mean, depending on the meaning of the rest of the sentence: (1) that Elihu is beginning his description of a gathering storm and he is calling the attention of the others who are present to the clouds that are forming in the sky. In that case, Elihu would mean the term Behold literally. Alternate translation: “Look, God causes to be high in his power!” (2) that while Elihu is going to use the storm to illustrate God’s power, here he is asking the others to reflect on how great God’s power is. Alternate translation: “Consider this: God causes to be high in his power”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הֶן־אֵ֭ל יַשְׂגִּ֣יב בְּ⁠כֹח֑⁠וֹ

see god exalted in/on/at/with,power,his

Elihu could be saying: (1) that God makes high things, specifically in this case storm clouds, and that demonstrates his power. Alternate translation: “Look at what high clouds God is making in his power!” (2) that God has caused himself to be high, that is, that God has exalted himself. Alternate translation: “Consider how great God has shown himself to be”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֖י כָמֹ֣⁠הוּ מוֹרֶֽה

who? like,him teacher

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 this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No one is a teacher like him!” or “He is about to teach us something in a way that no one else could.”
