<< Job 14:8   Job 14:10 >>


Job 14:9

Yet through the scent of water - The word here rendered "scent" ( rêyach ) means properly the odor or fragrance which anything exhales or emits; Song of Songs 2:13; Song of Songs 7:13; Genesis 27:27. The idea is very delicate and poetic. It is designed to denote a gentle and pleasant contact - not a rush of water - by which the tree is made to live. It inhales, so to speak, the vital influence from the water - as we are refreshed and revived by grateful odorifles when we are ready to faint.

It will bud - Or, rather, it will germinate, or spring up again - yapârach ; see the notes at Isaiah 55:10.

And bring forth boughs - qâtsı̂yr . This word usually means a harvest; Genesis 8:22; Genesis 30:14; Genesis 45:6. It also means, as here, a bough, or branch; compare Psalms 80:11; Job 18:16; Job 29:19.

Like a plant - Like a young plant - as fresh and vigorous as a plant that is set out.
