Footnotes

  1. 7 Heb “his”; the referent (Job) has been specified in the translation to indicate whose friends they were.
  2. 8 The perfect verb should be given the category of potential perfect here.
  3. 9 This is one of the eighteen “corrections of the scribes” (tiqqune sopherim); it originally read, “and they declared God [in the wrong].” The thought was that in abandoning the debate they had conceded Job’s point.
