Abstract:
This study suggests that the difficulties associated with the interpretation of וָאֶשְׁבֹּר in Job 38:10 can be resolved, if it is assumed that v. 10a describes God’s deliberative process which leads to improved physical constraints, and eventually to a restraining order. This understanding capitalizes on the possibility that a שׂ/שׁ confusion has occurred, and the correct vocalization of MT וָאֶשׁבֹּר is וָאֶשְׂבֹּר, 'and examine'. This emendation leads to the position that vv. 8-11 refer to three acts of תקון עולם. Such cosmic intervention by the divine must have sent to Job the clear message that he too should engage in תקון עולם, albeit of his own personal 'world'.
