Job 28:4
_ _ Three hardships in mining:
_ _ 1. “A stream (flood) breaks out at the side of the stranger”; namely, the miner, a strange newcomer into places heretofore unexplored; his surprise at the sudden stream breaking out beside him is expressed (English Version, “from the inhabitant”).
_ _ 2. “Forgotten (unsupported) by the foot they hang,” namely, by ropes, in descending. In the Hebrew, “Lo there” precedes this clause, graphically placing it as if before the eyes. “The waters” is inserted by English Version. “Are dried up,” ought to be, “hang,” “are suspended.” English Version perhaps understood, waters of whose existence man was previously unconscious, and near which he never trod; and yet man’s energy is such, that by pumps, etc., he soon causes them to “dry up and go away” [So Herder].
_ _ 3. “Far away from men, they move with uncertain step”; they stagger; not “they are gone” [Umbreit]. |
Job 28:4
Breaketh out — While men are searching, water breaks in upon them. Inhabitants — Out of that part of the earth which the miners inhabit. Forgotten — Untrodden by the foot of man. Dried up — They are dried up, (or, drawn up, by engines made for that purpose) from men, from the miners, that they may not be hindered in their work. |
Job 28:4
The flood breaketh out from the (c) inhabitant; [even the waters] (d) forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
(c) Meaning, him that dwells by it. |
