Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Job 30:30

¹ tn The MT has “become dark from upon me,” prompting some editions to supply the verb “falls from me” (RSV, NRSV), or “peels” (NIV).

² tn The word “my bones” may be taken as a metonymy of subject, the bony framework indicating the whole body.

³ tn The word חֹרֶב (khorev) also means “heat.” The heat in this line is not that of the sun, but obviously a fever.
