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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַף

also/though

Elihu may be using the word translated Indeed to call the attention of Job and the others back to the gathering thunderstorm after talking about other things such as snow and ice. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Look!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

Elihu is not referring to a specific cloud. He means clouds in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “the clouds … his lightning-clouds”
