in former time desolate and waste.8
Footnotes
- 6 This word, גַּלְמוּד (galmud), describes something as lowly, desolate, bare, gaunt like a rock.
- 7 The form is the plural participle with the definite article—“who gnaw.” The article, joined to the participle, joins on a new statement concerning a preceding noun (see §126.b).
- 8 The has “yesterday desolate and waste.” The word “yesterday” (אֶמֶשׁ, ’emesh) is strange here. Among the proposals for אֶמֶשׁ (’emesh), Duhm suggested יְמַשְּׁשׁוּ (yémashéshu, “they grope”), which would require darkness; Pope renders “by night,” instead of “yesterday,” which evades the difficulty; and Fohrer suggested with more reason אֶרֶץ (’erets), “a desolate and waste land.” R. Gordis (Job, 331) suggests יָמִישׁוּ / יָמֻשׁוּ (yamishu/yamushu), “they wander off.”
