Job 38:38

when the dust hardens ¹  into a mass, and the clumps of earth stick together?

when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together?

When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together?

turning the dry dust to clumps of mud?

When the earth is cracked and dry, the ground baked hard as a brick?

When the earth becomes hard as metal, and is joined together in masses?

when the dust runs into a mass and the clods cling together?

When the dust hardens in clumps, And the clods cling together?

when the dust hardens ¹  into a mass, and the clumps of earth stick together?

¹ tn The word means “to flow” or “to cast” (as in casting metals). So the noun developed the sense of “hard,” as in cast metal.
