Job 39:14

For she leaves ¹  her eggs on the ground, and lets them be warmed on the soil.

She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand,

For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust,

She lays her eggs on top of the earth, letting them be warmed in the dust.

She lays her eggs on the hard ground, leaves them there in the dirt, exposed to the weather,

That she puts her eggs on the earth, warming them in the dust,

For it leaves its eggs to the earth, and lets them be warmed on the ground,

For she leaves her eggs on the ground, And warms them in the dust;

For she leaves ¹  her eggs on the ground, and lets them be warmed on the soil.

¹ tn The meaning may have the connotation of “lays; places,” rather than simply abandoning (see M. Dahood, “The Root ’zb II in Job,” JBL 78 [1959]: 307f.).
