Footnotes

Job. 38:41
Job. 38:41

In unpointed Hebrew, ื™ืœื“ื• is read as ื™ึธืœึฐื“ื•ึผ (yaldu) in the third-person plural perfect (“they gave birth”) of the verb ืœืœื“ืช (“to give birth”).

As opposed to a Noun + 3 ms suffix:

  • ื™ึถืœึถื“ (yeled) = “a child”

  • –ื•ึน (ล) = “his” → ื™ึฐืœึธื“ื•ึน (yษ™-lฤ-dô) = “his child”

If in the phrase ื›ื™ ื™ืœื“ื• ืืœ ืืœ we are to take ื™ืœื“ื• 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"
