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

הֲֽ⁠תִקְשָׁר־רֵ֭ים בְּ⁠תֶ֣לֶם עֲבֹת֑⁠וֹ

?,tie wild_ox in/on/at/with,furrow ropes,its

Yahweh is asking implicitly whether Job could use rope to harness a wild ox to a plow that was in a furrow. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Can you harness a wild ox to a plow and get it to plow furrows in your field”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִם־יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד עֲמָקִ֣ים אַחֲרֶֽי⁠ךָ

if harrow valleys after,you

Yahweh is using the word If to introduce a question that anticipates a negative answer. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “It would not harrow the valleys after you, would it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אִם־יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד עֲמָקִ֣ים אַחֲרֶֽי⁠ךָ

if harrow valleys after,you

In this culture, farmers would lead a draft animal from the front as it pulled a harrow behind it. That is why Yahweh says after you. If farmers in your culture who harrow with draft animals instead walk behind the harrow, you could translate this in a way that expressed the general meaning without specifying a particular method of harrowing. Alternate translation: “Could you use it to harrow your fields in the valleys”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד עֲמָקִ֣ים

harrow valleys

To harrow means to smooth and break up soil once it has been plowed. If your readers would not be familiar with what it means to harrow a field, in your translation you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “it will pull a light implement to smooth and break up the soil in your fields in the valleys”
