Job 24:14

Context

24:14 Before daybreak 1  the murderer rises up;

he kills the poor and the needy;

in the night he is 2  like a thief. 3 

1 tn The text simply has לָאוֹר (laor, “at light” or “at daylight”), probably meaning just at the time of dawn.

2 tn In a few cases the jussive is used without any real sense of the jussive being present (see GKC 323 §109.k).

3 sn The point is that he is like a thief in that he works during the night, just before the daylight, when the advantage is all his and the victim is most vulnerable.
