| (0.25) | (Job 36:30) | 2 tn The word is “light,” but taken to mean “lightning.” Theodotion had “mist” here, and so most commentators follow that because it is more appropriate to the verb and the context. |
| (0.25) | (Job 36:11) | 1 tc Some commentators delete this last line for metrical considerations. But there is no textual evidence for the deletion; it is simply the attempt by some to make the meter rigid. |
| (0.25) | (Job 34:17) | 3 tn The two words could be taken separately, but they seem to form a fine nominal hendiadys because the issue is God’s justice. So the word for power becomes the modifier. |
| (0.25) | (Job 34:7) | 2 tn The scorn or derision mentioned here is not against Job, but against God. Job scorns God so much, he must love it. So to reflect this idea, Gordis has translated it “blasphemy” (cf. NAB). |
| (0.25) | (Job 33:17) | 1 tc The MT simply has מַעֲשֶׂה (maʿaseh, “deed”). The LXX has “from his iniquity” which would have been מֵעַוְלָה (meʿavlah). The two letters may have dropped out by haplography. The MT is workable, but would have to mean “[evil] deeds.” |
| (0.25) | (Job 33:13) | 1 tc The MT has “all his words.” This must refer to “man” in the previous verse. But many wish to change it to “my words,” since it would be summarizing Job’s complaint to God. |
| (0.25) | (Job 33:4) | 1 tn The verb תְּחַיֵּנִי (tekhayyeni) is the Piel imperfect of the verb “to live.” It can mean “gives me life,” but it can also mean “quickens me, enlivens me.” |
| (0.25) | (Job 32:21) | 2 tn The verb means “to confer an honorary title; to give a mark of distinction,” but it is often translated with the verb “flatter.” Elihu will not take sides; he will not use pompous titles. |
| (0.25) | (Job 32:15) | 2 tn The verb חַתּוּ (khattu) is from חָתַת (khatat) which means “to be terrified.” But here it stresses the resulting dilemma. R. Gordis (Job, 369) renders it, “they are shattered, beaten in an argument.” |
| (0.25) | (Job 32:15) | 1 sn Elihu now will give another reason why he will speak—the arguments of these friends failed miserably. But before he gets to his argument, he will first qualify his authority. |
| (0.25) | (Job 32:10) | 1 tc In most Hebrew mss this imperative is singular, and so addressed to Job. But two Hebrew mss and the versions have the plural. Elihu was probably addressing all of them. |
| (0.25) | (Job 31:32) | 2 tn Or “[resident] foreigner.” The term גֵּר (ger) refers to a foreign resident, but with different social implications in different settings. Here the “stranger” stands in need of the hospitality of lodgings. |
| (0.25) | (Job 31:36) | 3 tn This verb is only found in Prov 6:21. But E. Dhorme (Job, 470) suggests that (with metathesis) we have a derivative מַעֲדַנּוֹת (maʿadannot, “bonds; ties”) in 38:31. |
| (0.25) | (Job 31:14) | 2 tn The verb פָּקַד (paqad) means “to visit,” but with God as the subject it means any divine intervention for blessing or cursing, anything God does that changes a person’s life. Here it is “visit to judge.” |
| (0.25) | (Job 31:15) | 1 tn Heb “him,” but the plural pronoun has been used in the translation to indicate that the referent is the servants mentioned in v. 13 (since the previous “him” in v. 14 refers to God). |
| (0.25) | (Job 31:12) | 2 tn The verb means “to root out,” but this does not fit the parallelism with fire. Wright changed two letters and the vowels in the verb to get the root צָרַף (tsaraf, “to burn”). The NRSV has “burn to the root.” |
| (0.25) | (Job 31:5) | 1 tn The normal approach is to take this as the protasis, and then have it resumed in v. 7 after a parenthesis in v. 6. But some take v. 6 as the apodosis and a new protasis in v. 7. |
| (0.25) | (Job 30:9) | 1 tn The idea is that Job has become proverbial, people think of misfortune and sin when they think of him. The statement uses the ordinary word for “word” (מִלָּה, millah), but in this context it means more: “proverb; byword.” |
| (0.25) | (Job 29:22) | 1 tn The verb simply means “dropped,” but this means like the rain. So the picture of his words falling on them like the gentle rain, drop by drop, is what is intended (see Deut 32:2). |
