Exegesis
The paired nouns avileihem {עֲוִילֵיהֶ֑ם | ʿăwîlēhem} ‘their children’ and veyaldeihem {وְ֝יַלְדֵיהֶ֗ם | wə-yal⁽d⁾êhem} ‘their little ones’ highlight generational vibrancy, while the concluding verb yerakkedun {יְרַקֵּדֽוּן | yərraqēdûn} ‘they dance’ (Piel imperfect) conveys exuberant motion. The formal translation preserves this parallel structure and imagery, whereas the dynamic version adapts wording for idiomatic English clarity.
In context — Job 21:11
They send forth their children like a flock , and their little ones dance .
