Job 32:4

NETBible

Now Elihu had waited before speaking 1  to Job, because the others 2  were older than he was.

XREF

Job 32:11,12; Pr 18:13

NET © Notes

tc This reading requires repointing the word בִּדְבָרִים (bidbarim, “with words”) to בְּדָבְּרָם (bÿdabbÿram, “while they spoke [with Job]”). If the MT is retained, it would mean “he waited for Job with words,” which while understandable is awkward.

tn Heb “they”; the referent (the other friends) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
