Job 28:8

Context

28:8 Proud beasts 1  have not set foot on it,

and no lion has passed along it.

Job 34:8

Context

34:8 He goes about 2  in company 3  with evildoers,

he goes along 4  with wicked men. 5 

1 tn Heb “the sons of pride.” In Job 41:26 the expression refers to carnivorous wild beasts.

2 tn The perfect verb with the vav (ו) consecutive carries the sequence forward from the last description.

3 tn The word חֶבְרַה (khevrah, “company”) is a hapax legomenon. But its meaning is clear enough from the connections to related words and this context as well.

4 tn The infinitive construct with the ל (lamed) preposition may continue the clause with the finite verb (see GKC 351 §114.p).

5 tn Heb “men of wickedness”; the genitive is attributive (= “wicked men”).
