Footnotes
| Job. 38:41 | In unpointed Hebrew, ילדו is read as יָלְדוּ (yaldu) in the third-person plural perfect (“they gave birth”) of the verb ללדת (“to give birth”). As opposed to a Noun + 3 ms suffix:
If in the phrase כי ילדו אל אל we are to take ילדו as a noun, a verb must be added in, or it makes no sense. The following verbs are 3rd person plural, and thus are incompatible with the singular "his child." If it is a verb "they are giving birth" then we have an unusual one off usage with the preposition "towards": "they are giving birth towards" |
