Job 2:5

Context
2:5 But extend your hand and strike his bone and his flesh, 1  and he will no doubt 2  curse you to your face!”

1 sn The “bones and flesh” are idiomatic for the whole person, his physical and his psychical/spiritual being (see further H. W. Wolff, Anthropology of the Old Testament, 26-28).

2 sn This is the same oath formula found in 1:11; see the note there.
