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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
תַּרְקִ֣יעַ עִ֭מּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִ֑ים
spread_out with=him/it to,skies
People in this culture believed that the sky was a solid object, a great dome that God had made and placed above the earth. Elihu is speaking as if God had literally melted metal and then hammered it flat in order to make the sky. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Would you be able to create the sky as he did]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
כִּרְאִ֥י מוּצָֽק
as,mirror molten
A mirror is an object that reflects images. People look into mirrors to check their appearance. In this culture, mirrors were made of bright metal. If your readers would not be familiar with what a mirror is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable metal object in your culture, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [as an object cast from metal]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
כִּרְאִ֥י מוּצָֽק
as,mirror molten
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [as a mirror that someone has cast from metal]
