13:21Remove51 your hand52 far from me

and stop making me afraid with your terror.53

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 51 The imperative הַרְחַק (harkhaq, “remove”; §29.q), from רָחַק (rakhaq, “far, be far”) means “take away [far away]; to remove.”
  2. 52 This is a common, but bold, anthropomorphism. The fact that the word used is כַּף (kaf, properly “palm”) rather than יָד (yad, “hand,” with the sense of power) may stress Job’s feeling of being trapped or confined (see also Ps 139:5, 7).

Cross references
