Job 38:16

38:16 Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea,

or walked about in the recesses of the deep?

Job 38:30

38:30 when the waters become hard like stone,

when the surface of the deep is frozen solid?


tn Heb “the springs of the sea.” The words “that fill” are supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning of the phrase.

tn Several suggest that the verb is not from חָבָא (khava’, “to hide”) but from a homonym, “to congeal.” This may be too difficult to support, however.
