Footnotes

  1. 57 This verse forms another parenthesis. Job stops almost at every point now in the conditional clauses to affirm his purity and integrity.
  2. 58 The word in the , אֹרחַ (’orakh, “way”), is a contraction from אֹרֵחַ (’oreakh, “wayfarer”); thus, “traveler.” The same parallelism is found in Jer 14:8. The reading here “on/to the road” is meaningless otherwise.
