Job 32:4

Context
32:4 Now Elihu had waited before speaking 1  to Job, because the others 2  were older than he was.

Job 32:10

Context

32:10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen 3  to me.

I, even I, will explain what I know.’

1 tc This reading requires repointing the word בִּדְבָרִים (bidbarim, “with words”) to בְּדָבְּרָם (bÿdabbÿram, “while they spoke [with Job]”). If the MT is retained, it would mean “he waited for Job with words,” which while understandable is awkward.

2 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the other friends) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tc In most Hebrew mss this imperative is singular, and so addressed to Job. But two Hebrew mss and the versions have the plural. Elihu was probably addressing all of them.
