Footnotes

  1. Job 22:26 tc This is the same verb as in Ps 37:4. G. R. Driver suggests the word comes from another root that means “abandon oneself to, depend on” (“Problems in the Hebrew text of Job,” VTSup 3 [1955]: 84).
  2. Job 22:27 tn The words “to him” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
  3. Job 22:28 tn The word is גָּזַר (gazar, “to cut”), in the sense of deciding a matter.
