Job 1:19

Context
1:19 and suddenly 1  a great wind 2  swept across 3  the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they died! And I – only I alone – escaped to tell you!”

1 tn The use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “behold”) in this sentence is deictic, pointing out with excitement the events that happened as if the listener was there.

2 sn Both wind and lightning (v. 16) were employed by Satan as his tools. God can permit him such control over factors of the weather when it suits the divine purpose, but God retains ultimate control (see 28:23-27; Prov 3:4; Luke 8:24-25).

3 tn The word מֵעֵבֶר (meever) is simply “from the direction of”; the word עֵבֶר (’ever) indicates the area the whirlwind came across.
