Job 36:27-29
New English Translation
Job 36:27-29
New English Translation
27 He draws up drops of water;
they distill[a] the rain into its mist,[b]
28 which the clouds pour down
and shower on humankind abundantly.
29 Who can understand the spreading of the clouds,
the thunderings of his pavilion?[c]
Footnotes
- Job 36:27 tn The verb means “to filter; to refine,” and so a plural subject with the drops of water as the subject will not work. So many read the singular, “he distills.”
- Job 36:27 tn This word עֵד (ʿed) occurs also in Gen 2:6. The suggestion has been that instead of a mist it represents an underground watercourse that wells up to water the ground.
- Job 36:29 tn Heb “his booth.”
