Job 28:21-23

Context

28:21 For 1  it has been hidden

from the eyes of every living creature,

and from the birds of the sky it has been concealed.

28:22 Destruction 2  and Death say,

‘With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.’ 3 

28:23 God understands the way to it,

and he alone knows its place.

1 tn The vav on the verb is unexpressed in the LXX. It should not be overlooked, for it introduces a subordinate clause of condition (R. Gordis, Job, 310).

2 tn Heb “Abaddon.”

3 tn Heb “heard a report of it,” which means a report of its location, thus “where it can be found.”
