Discovery Box| (0.38) | (Job 39:13) | 3 tn Many proposals have been made here. The MT has a verb, “exult.” Strahan had “flap joyously,” a rendering followed by the NIV. The RSV uses “wave proudly.” |
| (0.38) | (Job 32:22) | 1 tn The construction uses a perfect verb followed by the imperfect. This is a form of subordination equivalent to a complementary infinitive (see GKC 385-86 §120.c). |
| (0.38) | (Job 30:31) | 1 tn The verb הָיָה (hayah, “to be”) followed by the preposition ל (lamed) means “to serve the purpose of” (see Gen 1:14ff., 17:7, etc.). |
| (0.38) | (Job 30:6) | 2 tn The adjectives followed by a partitive genitive take on the emphasis of a superlative: “in the most horrible of valleys” (see GKC 431 §133.h). |
| (0.38) | (Job 29:12) | 1 tn The negative introduces a clause that serves as a negative attribute; literally the following clause says, “and had no helper” (see GKC 482 §152.u). |
| (0.38) | (Job 29:2) | 4 tn The construct state (“days of”) governs the independent sentence that follows (see GKC 422 §130.d): “as the days of […] God used to watch over me.” |
| (0.38) | (Job 23:10) | 2 tn There is a perfect verb followed by an imperfect in this clause with the protasis and apodosis relationship (see GKC 493 §159.b). |
| (0.38) | (Job 21:15) | 1 tn The interrogative clause is followed by ki, similar to Exod 5:2, “Who is Yahweh, that I should obey him?” |
| (0.38) | (Job 21:2) | 1 tn The intensity of the appeal is again expressed by the imperative followed by the infinitive absolute for emphasis. See note on “listen carefully” in 13:17. |
| (0.38) | (Job 20:24) | 1 tn Heb “a bronze bow pierces him.” The words “an arrow from” are implied and are supplied in the translation; cf. “pulls it out” in the following verse. |
| (0.38) | (Job 20:2) | 1 tn The ordinary meaning of לָכֵן (lakhen) is “therefore,” coming after an argument. But at the beginning of a speech it is an allusion to what follows. |
| (0.38) | (Job 18:21) | 2 tn The word “place” is in construct; the clause following it replaces the genitive: “this is the place of—he has not known God.” |
| (0.38) | (Job 15:6) | 2 tn The verb עָנָה (ʿanah) with the ל (lamed) preposition following it means “to testify against.” For Eliphaz, it is enough to listen to Job to condemn him. |

| (0.38) | (Job 9:18) | 1 tn The verb נָתַן (natan) essentially means “to give,” but followed by the infinitive (without the ל [lamed] here) it means “to permit; to allow.” |
| (0.38) | (Job 6:24) | 3 tn The verb is הָבִינוּ (havinu, “to cause someone to understand”); with the ל (lamed) following, it has the sense of “explain to me.” |
| (0.38) | (Est 1:5) | 2 tc The LXX has ἕξ (hex, “six”) instead of “seven.” Virtually all English versions follow the reading of the MT here, “seven.” |
| (0.38) | (Neh 12:4) | 1 tc Most Hebrew MSS read “Ginnethoi”; the present translation follows a number of Hebrew MSS and the Vulgate (cf. Neh 12:16 and NIV, NCV, NLT). |
| (0.38) | (Neh 10:1) | 1 tn The words “were the following names” are not in the Hebrew text but have been supplied in the translation for clarity. Cf. vv. 9, 10, 14. |
