NET Notes: Job 34:8

¹ tn The perfect verb with the vav (ו) consecutive carries the sequence forward from the last description.

² tn The word חֶבְרַה (khevrah, “company”) is a hapax legomenon. But its meaning is clear enough from the connections to related words and this context as well.

³ tn The infinitive construct with the ל (lamed) preposition may continue the clause with the finite verb (see GKC 351 §114.p).

⁴ tn Heb “men of wickedness”; the genitive is attributive (= “wicked men”).
