Footnotes
- 27 The expression “the limbs of his skin” makes no sense, unless a poetic meaning of “parts” (or perhaps “layers”) is taken. The parallelism has “his skin” in the first colon, and “his limbs” in the second. One plausible suggestion is to take בַּדֵּי (badde, “limbs of”) in the first part to be בִּדְוָי (bidvay, “by a disease”; Dhorme, Wright, ). The verb has to be made passive, however. The versions have different things: The has “let the branches of his feet be eaten”; the has “his cities will be swallowed up by force”; the reads “let it devour the beauty of his skin”; and Job has “it will devour the linen garments that cover his skin.”
- 28 The “firstborn of death” is the strongest child of death (Gen 49:3), or the deadliest death (like the “firstborn of the poor, the poorest). The phrase means the most terrible death (A. B. Davidson, Job, 134).
