| (0.35) | (Job 42:7) | 1 tn Heb “the Lord.” The title has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons. |

| (0.35) | (Job 27:19) | 1 tc The verb is the Niphal יֵאָסֵף (yeʾasef), from אָסַף (ʾasaf, “to gather”). So, “he lies down rich, but he is not gathered.” This does not make much sense. It could mean “he will not be gathered for burial,” but that does not belong here. Many commentators accept the variant יֹאסִף (yoʾsif) stood for יוֹסִיף (yosif, “will [not] add”). This is what the LXX and the Syriac have. This leads to the interpretive translation that “he will do so no longer.” |
