Job 38:4

Context
God’s questions to Job

38:4 “Where were you

when I laid the foundation 1  of the earth?

Tell me, 2  if you possess understanding!

Job 38:21

Context

38:21 You know, for you were born before them; 3 

and the number of your days is great!

1 tn The construction is the infinitive construct in a temporal clause, using the preposition and the subjective genitive suffix.

2 tn The verb is the imperative; it has no object “me” in the text.

3 tn The imperfect verb after the adverb אָז (’az, “then”) functions as a preterite: “you were born.” The line is sarcastic.
