Are all your threads going to be you copying pages and pages of Hebrew to English text? That’s it?? With a handful of sentences in bold large font??
- Well, you will see!

- It's necessary to adapt!

- I copy the interlinear because every Bible translation can be discussed because of addition, corruption or omission!

- So everybody can check what's wrong whenever they want!

- of course, with the interlinear, it seems that there are many sentences!

- But there are only few!

- And these few sentences are important!

- There is a time for everything!

- Sometimes you need to let the verses speak by themselves, sometimes you write more!

- Patience is sometimes required!

- Once again Job has lost everything even his health, the only thing left is his life and he keeps maintaining his integrity and his faithfulness to God, he doesn’t follow his wife as Adam did and Adam was perfect! So think about that too!
 
4) Looking for Job

Job 2: Then we get the three “individuals” who come to Job:

When they see him from a distance, they don’t recognize him.

- Think about that: they can’t even recognize him so imagine his physical condition!

- And I’m not speaking about his mental condition!
 
- Moreover, if you are not interested by the interliear, you can just go down to my sentences!

- But both are interconnected!
It’s pretty long so I skipped it. The two sentences didn’t lend to a discussion and the rest was copy paste. Copy paste is usually not worth reading when the author doesn’t add some thoughts.
 
- Ok no problem, I understand!

- Let's say it's more technical!

- I imagine it depends on the situation!

- Somewhere else I compare different Bible translations from Biblehub!

- First, I copy the page with the translations (probably about 30)!

- Then I add the two commentaries from Biblehub!

- Then the interlinear!

- Then once again the page with the translations with my comments!

- Apparently, many people are interested but of course, it is a different context!

- Moreover, as I said before, I have to put the interlinear so those who want to check can do it!

- There are too many additions, corruptions and omissions in so many Bibles!

Job 3: 4-26

- Job has lost everything even his health and he is rejected by everybody, three individuals come to him to destroy him mentally! At first, they appear to be willing to help him but they do the contrary!

- His wife tells him to curse God and die but he curses the day he was born: when a situation is unbearable, when you can’t accept it, people want to die!

- Sometimes you can’t find words to express what you feel, Job can and it is to express his bad feelings!

- Job wants to escape the stressful situation!

- But there is no refuge, no help!

- Only death to be undisturbed and sleeping and at rest and no more agitation as Jesus says in the Gospels!

- But Job doesn’t understand why God let people live and suffer!

Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural
Strong's 3886: To swallow, swallow down

- This is an important verse to understand how Job reacts: Job says he feels really bad, the image he uses is quite clear “it is heavier than the sands of the seas and he compares his words to wild talk or my words have been rash. He is in such a mental condition that his words may go out of control or further than what he wants to say!
 
- Ok no problem, I understand!

- Let's say it's more technical!

- I imagine it depends on the situation!

- Somewhere else I compare different Bible translations from Biblehub!

- First, I copy the page with the translations (probably about 30)!

- Then I add the two commentaries from Biblehub!

- Then the interlinear!

- Then once again the page with the translations with my comments!

- Apparently, many people are interested but of course, it is a different context!

- Moreover, as I said before, I have to put the interlinear so those who want to check can do it!

- There are too many additions, corruptions and omissions in so many Bibles!
That’s an arduous process. I read the whole of the chapter or book and look up the original in places where I have questions. I know the whole of the Bible pretty well so that plays a large role as well.
 
6) Looking for Job

- Here there are too many verses!

- You can use the link of Biblehub and read a translation or the interlinear moving from verse to verse!

Job 3: 4-26

- Job has lost everything even his health and he is rejected by everybody, three individuals come to him to destroy him mentally! At first, they appear to be willing to help him but they do the contrary!
There are 4 and only three are rebuked by God for their attacking him. In you careful copy and pasting the meanings of each individual word, you missed that. It’s a matter of not seeing the forest for the trees.
- His wife tells him to curse God and die but he curses the day he was born: when a situation is unbearable, when you can’t accept it, people want to die!

- Sometimes you can’t find words to express what you feel, Job can and it is to express his bad feelings!

- Job wants to escape the stressful situation!

- But there is no refuge, no help!

- Only death to be undisturbed and sleeping and at rest and no more agitation as Jesus says in the Gospels!
OK. Pretty obvious so a fairly simple understanding but it tells those who’ve never read the story a brief account. Nothing deep.
- But Job doesn’t understand why God let people live and suffer!
I think he’s more upset that he is suffering after living a righteous life, but there might be generalizations there as well.

- This is an important verse to understand how Job reacts: Job says he feels really bad, the image he uses is quite clear “it is heavier than the sands of the seas and he compares his words to wild talk or my words have been rash. He is in such a mental condition that his words may go out of control or further than what he wants to say!
Again, fairly obvious summation. Nothing deep. I mean if any one of us had all their children killed, all their material wherewithal stolen and break out in huge boils, we too might “feel really bad.”
