Elihu shows how God is just in his ways16. How Job's sins hinder God's blessings 24. God's works are to be magnified Bear with me a little longer This phrase reflects Elihu's request for patience from his audience. The Hebrew root for "bear" is "נָשָׂא" (nasa), which often means to lift, carry, or endure. Elihu is asking his listeners to endure his speech a bit longer, suggesting that he believes his message is of great importance. In the context of ancient Near Eastern culture, patience and listening were highly valued, especially in the context of wisdom literature. Elihu's plea indicates his confidence in the wisdom he is about to impart, and it serves as a reminder of the virtue of patience in seeking understanding. and I will show you that there is more to be said in God’s behalf Hebrew “Bearכַּתַּר־ (kat·tar-) Verb - Piel - Imperative - masculine singular Strong's 3803: To enclose, to crown, to besiege, to wait with me לִ֣י (lî) Preposition | first person common singular Strong's Hebrew a little longer, זְ֭עֵיר (zə·‘êr) Noun - masculine singular Strong's 2191: A little and I will show you וַאֲחַוֶּ֑ךָּ (wa·’ă·ḥaw·we·kā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive imperfect Cohortative if contextual - first person common singular | second person masculine singular Strong's 2331: To live, to declare, show that כִּ֤י (kî) Conjunction Strong's 3588: A relative conjunction there is more ע֖וֹד (‘ō·wḏ) Adverb Strong's 5750: Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more to be said מִלִּֽים׃ (mil·lîm) Noun - feminine plural Strong's 4405: A word, a discourse, a topic on God’s behalf. לֶאֱל֣וֹהַּ (le·’ĕ·lō·w·ah) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular Strong's 433: God -- a deity, the Deity Links Job 36:2 NIVJob 36:2 NLT Job 36:2 ESV Job 36:2 NASB Job 36:2 KJV Job 36:2 BibleApps.com Job 36:2 Biblia Paralela Job 36:2 Chinese Bible Job 36:2 French Bible Job 36:2 Catholic Bible OT Poetry: Job 36:2 Bear with me a little and (Jb) |
