Job 38:24

In what direction is lightning ¹  dispersed, or the east winds scattered over the earth?

What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?

"Where is the way that the light is divided, Or the east wind scattered on the earth?

Where is the path to the origin of light? Where is the home of the east wind?

Can you find your way to where lightning is launched, or to the place from which the wind blows?

Which is the way to the place where the wind is measured out, and the east wind sent out over the earth?

What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

By what way is light diffused, Or the east wind scattered over the earth?

In what direction is lightning ¹  dispersed, or the east winds scattered over the earth?

¹ tn Because the parallel with “light” and “east wind” is not tight, Hoffmann proposed ‘ed instead, “mist.” This has been adopted by many. G. R. Driver suggests “parching heat” (“Problems in the Hebrew text of Job,” VTSup 3 [1955]: 91-92).
