Footnotes

  1. 18 The expression דֶּרֶךְ עִמָּדִי (derekh ’immadi) means “the way with me,” i.e., “the way that I take.” The has “my way and my standing.” Several commentators prefer “the way of my standing,” meaning where to look for me. J. Reider offers “the way of my life” (“Some notes to the text of the scriptures,” 3 [1926]: 115). Whatever the precise wording, Job knows that God can always find him.
  2. 19 There is a perfect verb followed by an imperfect in this clause with the protasis and apodosis relationship (see §159.b).
