Ayub 38:27

38:27 to satisfy a devastated and desolate land,

and to cause it to sprout with vegetation? ¹ 

Mazmur 147:8

147:8 He covers ²  the sky with clouds,

provides the earth with rain,

and causes grass to grow on the hillsides. ³ 

[38:27]  ¹ tn Heb “to cause to sprout a source of vegetation.” The word מֹצָא (motsa’) is rendered “mine” in Job 28:1. The suggestion with the least changes is Wright’s: צָמֵא (tsame’, “thirsty”). But others choose מִצִּיָּה (mitsiyyah, “from the steppe”).

[147:8]  ² tn Heb “the one who covers.”

[147:8]  ³ tn Heb “hills.”
