Job 40:20-22

40:20 For the hills bring it food, ¹ 

where all the wild animals play.

40:21 Under the lotus trees it lies,

in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh.

40:22 The lotus trees conceal it in their ²  shadow;

the poplars by the stream conceal it.

[40:20]  ¹ tn The word בּוּל (bul) probably refers to food. Many take it as an abbreviated form of יְבוּל (yÿvul, “produce of the field”). The vegetation that is produced on the low hills is what is meant.

[40:22]  ² tn The suffix is singular, but must refer to the trees’ shade.
