# General Information:

|
# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Each of these verses have two parallel phrases. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
|
|
|
|
# Where is the way to the resting place of light—as for darkness, where is its place?
|
|
|
|
This question can be expressed as a statement. AT: "You do not know the way to the resting place of light or the place of darkness." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# the resting place of light
|
|
|
|
"the dwelling of light." Light is spoken of as having a resting place from which it comes forth each day. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
|
|
|
|
# light
|
|
|
|
"daylight" or "sunlight"
|
|
|
|
# Can you lead light and darkness to their places of work? Can you find the way back to their houses for them?
|
|
|
|
These questions expect a negative answer. They can be expressed as statements. AT: "You cannot lead light and darkness to their places of work, or find the way back to their houses for them." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# to their places of work
|
|
|
|
"to their territory." Light and darkness are spoken of as being led out and back each day to accomplish Yahweh's purposes. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
|
|
|
|
# Undoubtedly ... so large
|
|
|
|
Yahweh uses mocking irony to emphasize that Job does not understand light and darkness. AT: "It is obvious that you do not know, because you were not born when I created them, and you are not very old" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])
|
|
|
|
# for you were born then
|
|
|
|
"for you were already living then." The word "then" refers to the time when light was created and separated from darkness. AT: "for you were already born when I created them"
|
|
|
|
# the number of your days is so large
|
|
|
|
"you have lived so many years" |
