Footnotes
- 30 Heb כָעָשׁ (kha’ash, “like a moth”), but this leaves room for clarification. Some commentators wanted to change it to “bird’s nest” or just “nest” (cf. ) to make the parallelism; see Job 4:14. But the word is not found. The has a double expression, “as moths, as a spider.” So several take it as the spider’s web, which is certainly unsubstantial (cf. , , ; see Job 8:14).
- 31 The Hebrew word is the word for “booth,” as in the Feast of Booths. The word describes something that is flimsy; it is not substantial at all.
