1 | Is "patient" Job actually not so patient | Job 1:21 | qatharms | 158420 | ||
Recently I heard a Bible teacher say that in Hebrew, the word translated as "curse" in Chapter 1 of Job is actually the Hebrew word for bless. Is it possible that throughout the first two chapters the writer meant to make a satyrical word play on the word "bless?" Is it possible that our normal interpretation of Job's words "Blessed be the name of the Lord" actually betray at this early point his frustration with suffering whose purpose he cannot comprehend? | ||||||
2 | Is "patient" Job actually not so patient | Job 1:21 | Morant61 | 158421 | ||
Greetings Qatharms! The word 'barak' can mean 'to curse', but the usual meaning is 'to bless'. Job 1:22 makes it quite clear that 'barak' is not being used in the negative sense. However, it is used in the negative sense in Job 1:5. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
