Job 29:23

Context

29:23 They waited for me as people wait 1  for the rain,

and they opened their mouths 2 

as for 3  the spring rains.

Job 38:26

Context

38:26 to cause it to rain on an uninhabited land, 4 

a desert where there are no human beings, 5 

1 tn The phrase “people wait for” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation.

2 sn The analogy is that they received his words eagerly as the dry ground opens to receive the rains.

3 tn The כּ (kaf) preposition is to be supplied by analogy with the preceding phrase. This leaves a double proposition, “as for” (but see Job 29:2).

4 tn Heb “on a land, no man.”

5 tn Heb “a desert, no man in it.”
