34:13 Who entrusted 1 to him the earth?
And who put him over 2 the whole world?
1 tn The verb פָּקַד (paqad) means “to visit; to appoint; to number.” Here it means “to entrust” for care and governing. The implication would be that there would be someone higher than God – which is what Elihu is repudiating by the rhetorical question. No one entrusted God with this.
2 tn The preposition is implied from the first half of the verse.
