Ayub 29:13

29:13 the blessing of the dying man descended on me, ¹ 

and I made the widow’s heart rejoice; ² 

Ayub 31:16

31:16 If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, ³ 

or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

[29:13]  ¹ tn The verb is simply בּוֹא (bo’, “to come; to enter”). With the preposition עַל (’al, “upon”) it could mean “came to me,” or “came upon me,” i.e., descended (see R. Gordis, Job, 320).

[29:13]  ² tn The verb אַרְנִן (’arnin) is from רָנַן (ranan, “to give a ringing cry”) but here “cause to give a ringing cry,” i.e., shout of joy. The rejoicing envisioned in this word is far greater than what the words “sing” or “rejoice” suggest.

[31:16]  ³ tn Heb “kept the poor from [their] desire.”
