Job 39:1-2

39:1 “Are you acquainted with the way ¹ 

the mountain goats ²  give birth?

Do you watch as the wild deer give birth to their young?

39:2 Do you count the months they must fulfill,

and do you know the time they give birth? ³ 

[39:1]  ¹ tn The text uses the infinitive as the object: “do you know the giving birth of?”

[39:1]  ² tn Or “ibex.”

[39:2]  ³ tn Here the infinitive is again a substantive: “the time of their giving birth.”
