Footnotes

  1. 22 The and the have “and he does not repeat it,” a reading of the text as it is, according to E. Dhorme (Job, 403). But his argument is based on another root with this meaning—a root which does not exist (see L. Dennefeld, 48 [1939]: 175). The verse is saying that God does speak to man.
