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 / metonymy

יַרְתִּ֣יחַ כַּ⁠סִּ֣יר מְצוּלָ֑ה

(yartiyaḩ ka⁠şşir məʦūlāh)

Yahweh is using the term pot by association to mean the water in a pot that someone was heating to make the water boil. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “It makes the deep boil like the water in a pot that someone is heating”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַרְתִּ֣יחַ כַּ⁠סִּ֣יר מְצוּלָ֑ה

(yartiyaḩ ka⁠şşir məʦūlāh)

Yahweh is speaking as if Leviathan literally made the ocean boil the way the water in a pot would boil. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “It churns up the waters of the ocean as it swims”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יָ֝֗ם יָשִׂ֥ים כַּ⁠מֶּרְקָחָֽה

(yām yāsim ka⁠mmerqāḩāh)

Yahweh is using the term ointment pot by association to mean the ointment in a pot that someone would stir to mix its ingredients together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it makes the sea like ointment that someone is stirring in a pot”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

יָ֝֗ם יָשִׂ֥ים כַּ⁠מֶּרְקָחָֽה

(yām yāsim ka⁠mmerqāḩāh)

The point of this comparison is that that when Leviathan swims through the sea, it makes the waters foam the way ointment foams in a pot when its ingredients are stirred together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “it makes the waters of the sea foam the way ointment foams when someone stirs it in a pot”
