3:10because it32 did not shut the doors33 of my mother’s womb on me,34
nor did it hide trouble35 from my eyes!
Footnotes
- 32 The subject is still “that night.” Here, at the end of this first section, Job finally expresses the crime of that night—it did not hinder his birth.
- 33 This use of doors for the womb forms an implied comparison; the night should have hindered conception (see Gen 20:18 and 1 Sam 1:5).
- 34 The Hebrew has simply “my belly [= womb].” The suffix on the noun must be objective—it was the womb of Job’s mother in which he lay before his birth. See however N. C. Habel, “The Dative Suffix in Job 33:13,” 63 (1982): 258–59, who thinks it is deliberately ambiguous.
- 35 The word עָמָל (’amal) means “work, heavy labor, agonizing labor, struggle” with the idea of fatigue and pain.
