Job 21:32

21:32 And when he is carried to the tombs,

and watch is kept ¹  over the funeral mound, ² 

Job 5:26

5:26 You will come to your grave in a full age, ³ 

As stacks of grain are harvested in their season.

[21:32]  ¹ tn The verb says “he will watch.” The subject is unspecified, so the translation is passive.

[21:32]  ² tn The Hebrew word refers to the tumulus, the burial mound that is erected on the spot where the person is buried.

[5:26]  ³ tn The word translated “in a full age” has been given an array of meanings: “health; integrity”; “like a new blade of corn”; “in your strength [or vigor].” The numerical value of the letters in the word בְכֶלָח (bÿkhelakh, “in old age”) was 2, 20, 30, and 8, or 60. This led some of the commentators to say that at 60 one would enter the ripe old age (E. Dhorme, Job, 73).
