NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Job) has been specified in the translation to indicate whose friends they were. 2 tn The perfect verb should be given the category of potential perfect here. 3 tc This is one of the eighteen “corrections of the scribes” (tiqqune sopherim); it originally read, “and they declared God [in the wrong].” The thought was that in abandoning the debate they had conceded Job’s point. |
