they take the widow’s ox as a pledge.

Job 29:13

Context

29:13 the blessing of the dying man descended on me, 1 

and I made the widow’s heart rejoice; 2 

Job 31:16

Context

31:16 If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, 3 

or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

1 tn The verb is simply בּוֹא (bo’, “to come; to enter”). With the preposition עַל (’al, “upon”) it could mean “came to me,” or “came upon me,” i.e., descended (see R. Gordis, Job, 320).

2 tn The verb אַרְנִן (’arnin) is from רָנַן (ranan, “to give a ringing cry”) but here “cause to give a ringing cry,” i.e., shout of joy. The rejoicing envisioned in this word is far greater than what the words “sing” or “rejoice” suggest.

3 tn Heb “kept the poor from [their] desire.”
