| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 5:8) |

| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 5:9) |
3 tn The preposition in עַד־אֵין (’ad ’en, “until there was no”) is stereotypical; it conveys the sense of having no number (see Job 9:10; Ps 40:13). |
| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 7:8) |
2 tn This verse is omitted in the LXX and so by several commentators. But the verb שׁוּר (shur, “turn, return”) is so characteristic of Job (10 times) that the verse seems appropriate here. |
| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 7:11) |

| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 15:15) |
2 sn The question here is whether the reference is to material “heavens” (as in Exod 24:10 and Job 25:5), or to heavenly beings. The latter seems preferable in this context. |
| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 15:25) |
1 sn The symbol of the outstretched hand is the picture of attempting to strike someone, or shaking a fist at someone; it is a symbol of a challenge or threat (see Isa 5:25; 9:21; 10:4). |

1 tn This word פָּח (pakh) specifically refers to the snare of the fowler – thus a bird trap. But its plural seems to refer to nets in general (see Job 22:10). |
| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 20:18) |
1 tn The idea is the fruit of his evil work. The word יָגָע (yaga’) occurs only here; it must mean ill-gotten gains. The verb is in 10:3. |
| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 22:8) |

| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 30:22) |
2 tn The verb means “to melt.” The imagery would suggest softening the ground with the showers (see Ps 65:10 [11]). The translation “toss…about” comes from the Arabic cognate that is used for the surging of the sea. |
| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 31:1) |
1 tn The idea of cutting a covenant for something may suggest a covenant that is imposed, except that this construction elsewhere argues against it (see 2 Chr 29:10). |

| (0.61174148648649) | (Job 38:2) |
2 sn The referent of “counsel” here is not the debate between Job and the friends, but the purposes of God (see Ps 33:10; Prov 19:21; Isa 19:17). Dhorme translates it “Providence.” |
| (0.61174148648649) | (Psa 2:4) |
