Ayub 30:30

30:30 My skin has turned dark on me; ¹ 

my body ²  is hot with fever. ³ 

[30:30]  ¹ tn The MT has “become dark from upon me,” prompting some editions to supply the verb “falls from me” (RSV, NRSV), or “peels” (NIV).

[30:30]  ² tn The word “my bones” may be taken as a metonymy of subject, the bony framework indicating the whole body.

[30:30]  ³ tn The word חֹרֶב (khorev) also means “heat.” The heat in this line is not that of the sun, but obviously a fever.
