Job 15:27

Context

15:27 Because he covered his face with fat, 1 

and made 2  his hips bulge with fat, 3 

1 sn This verse tells us that he is not in any condition to fight, because he is bloated and fat from luxurious living.

2 tn D. W. Thomas defends a meaning “cover” for the verb עָשָׂה (’asah). See “Translating Hebrew `asah,” BT 17 [1966]: 190-93.

3 tn The term פִּימָה (pimah), a hapax legomenon, is explained by the Arabic faima, “to be fat.” Pope renders this “blubber.” Cf. KJV “and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.”
