Job 20:25

Context

20:25 When he pulls it out 1  and it comes out of his back,

the gleaming point 2  out of his liver,

terrors come over him.

1 tn The MT has “he draws out [or as a passive, “it is drawn out/forth”] and comes [or goes] out of his back.” For the first verb שָׁלַף (shalaf, “pull, draw”), many commentators follow the LXX and use שֶׁלַח (shelakh, “a spear”). It then reads “and a shaft comes out of his back,” a sword flash comes out of his liver.” But the verse could also be a continuation of the preceding.

2 tn Possibly a reference to lightnings.
