Job 14 General Notes
Structure and formatting
The ULB indents the lines of this chapter because it is a poem. This chapter is a continuation of Job's claim of righteousness being presented to Yahweh. It also has an abrupt shift in tone. Rather than being hopeful, Job laments. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/righteous and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lament)
Special concepts in this chapter
Resurrection
The events of Job occurred long before the Old Testament was written. Therefore, he likely had very little direct revelation about Yahweh. The resurrection of the dead was apparently not well-known during Job's day. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/reveal)
Important figures of speech in this chapter
Rhetorical questions
Job uses many different rhetorical questions in this chapter in his appeal to Yahweh. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
