Job 22:16
16 men ▼
▼tn The word “men” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied to clarify the relative pronoun “who.”
who were carried off ▼▼tn The verb קָמַט (qamat) basically means “to seize; to tie together to make a bundle.” So the Pual will mean “to be bundled away; to be carried off.”
before their time, ▼▼tn The clause has “and [it was] not the time.” It may be used adverbially here.
when the flood ▼ was poured out ▼
on their foundations? ▼
▼tn This word is then to be taken as an adverbial accusative of place. Another way to look at this verse is what A. B. Davidson (Job, 165) proposes “whose foundation was poured away and became a flood.” This would mean that that on which they stood sank away.
