Ayub 38:16

38:16 Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea, ¹ 

or walked about in the recesses of the deep?

Ayub 38:24

38:24 In what direction is lightning ²  dispersed,

or the east winds scattered over the earth?

[38:16]  ¹ tn Heb “the springs of the sea.” The words “that fill” are supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning of the phrase.

[38:24]  ² tn Because the parallel with “light” and “east wind” is not tight, Hoffmann proposed ‘ed instead, “mist.” This has been adopted by many. G. R. Driver suggests “parching heat” (“Problems in the Hebrew text of Job,” VTSup 3 [1955]: 91-92).
