and afraid to explain17 to you what I know.
Footnotes
- 14 Heb “answered and said.”
- 15 The text has “small in days.”
- 16 The verb זָחַלְתִּי (zakhalti) is found only here in the OT, but it is found in a ninth century Aramaic inscription as well as in Biblical Aramaic. It has the meaning “to be timid” (see H. H. Rowley, Job [], 208).
- 17 The Piel infinitive with the preposition (מֵחַוֹּת, mekhavvot) means “from explaining.” The phrase is the complement: “explain” what Elihu feared.
