Footnotes
- 31 The has simply “if his loins did not bless me.” In the conditional clause this is another protasis. It means, “if I saw someone dying and if he did not thank me for clothing them.” It is Job’s way of saying that whenever he saw a need he met it, and he received his share of thanks—which prove his kindness. G. R. Driver has it “without his loins having blessed me,” taking “If … not” as an Aramaism, meaning “except” ( 52 [1935/36]: 164f.).
- 32 This clause is interpreted here as a subordinate clause to the first half of the verse. It could also be a separate clause: “was he not warmed …?”
