Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 27 The text has “my decree,” which means “the decree [plan] for/against me.” The suffix is objective, equivalent to a dative of disadvantage. The and the actually have “his decree.” R. Gordis (Job, 262) suggests taking it in the same sense as in Job 14:5: “my limit.”.
  2. 28 Heb “and many such [things] are with him.” The text is saying that many similar situations are under God’s rule of the world—his plans are infinite.
