Job 15:7

15:7 “Were you the first man ever born?

Were you brought forth before the hills?

Job 39:8

39:8 It ranges the hills as its pasture,

and searches after every green plant.

Job 40:20

40:20 For the hills bring it food,

where all the wild animals play.


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.
