Job 40:13

Context

40:13 Hide them in the dust 1  together,

imprison 2  them 3  in the grave. 4 

1 tn The word “dust” can mean “ground” here, or more likely, “grave.”

2 tn The verb חָבַשׁ (khavash) means “to bind.” In Arabic the word means “to bind” in the sense of “to imprison,” and that fits here.

3 tn Heb “their faces.”

4 tn The word is “secret place,” the place where he is to hide them, i.e., the grave. The text uses the word “secret place” as a metonymy for the grave.
