Job 20:25
25 When he pulls it out ▼
▼tn The MT has “he draws out [or as a passive, “it is drawn out/forth”] and comes [or goes] out of his back.” For the first verb שָׁלַף (shalaf, “pull, draw”), many commentators follow the LXX and use שֶׁלַח (shelakh, “a spear”). It then reads “and a shaft comes out of his back, a sword flash comes out of his liver.” But the verse could also be a continuation of the preceding.
and it comes out of his back, the gleaming point ▼
▼tn Possibly a reference to lightnings.
out of his liver, terrors come over him.
