18 Have you considered the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know it all.
19 “In what direction[a] does light reside,

and darkness, where is its place,
20 that you may take them to their borders
and perceive the pathways to their homes?[b]

Footnotes

  1. Job 38:19 tn The interrogative with דֶרֶךְ (derekh) means “in what road” or “in what direction.”
  2. Job 38:20 tn The suffixes are singular (“that you may take it to its border…to its home”), referring to either the light or the darkness. Because either is referred to, the translation has employed plurals, since singulars would imply that only the second item, “darkness,” was the referent. Plurals are also employed by NAB and NIV.
