| (0.56368705) | (Job 19:10) |
2 tn The text has הָלַךְ (halakh, “to leave”). But in view of Job 14:20, “perish” or “depart” would be a better meaning here. |
| (0.56368705) | (Job 19:10) |
4 tn The NEB has “my tent rope,” but that seems too contrived here. It is absurd to pull up a tent-rope like a tree. |
| (0.56368705) | (Job 20:9) |
1 tn Heb “the eye that had seen him.” Here a part of the person (the eye, the instrument of vision) is put by metonymy for the entire person. |
| (0.56368705) | (Job 20:18) |

2 tn Heb “and a man of arm, to whom [was] land.” The line is in contrast to the preceding one, and so the vav here introduces a concessive clause. |
| (0.56368705) | (Job 22:11) |
2 tn The word שִׁפְעַת (shif’at) means “multitude of.” It is used of men, camels, horses, and here of waters in the heavens. |

| (0.56368705) | (Job 25:4) |
1 sn Bildad here does not come up with new expressions; rather, he simply uses what Eliphaz had said (see Job 4:17-19 and 15:14-16). |
| (0.56368705) | (Job 26:2) |
