Footnotes
- 27 The ו (vav) introduces the comparison here (see 5:7; 11:12); see §161.a.
- 28 Heb “the palate.”
- 29 The final preposition with its suffix is to be understood as a pleonastic dativus ethicus and not translated (see §135.i). In the rest of the chapter Job turns his attention away from creation to the wisdom of ancient men. In Job 13:1 when Job looks back to this part, he refers to both the eye and the ear. In vv. 13–25 Job refers to many catastrophes which he could not have seen, but must have heard about.
