Description
Summary:In Job 12,6 the camps of robbers could be peaceful, and transgressors of God’s laws could be confident, yet both kinds of persons might be quite miserable. Thus, Job 12,6c must contain the component that optimizes the advantageous condition of these wicked. It is being suggested that the optimizing component is naturally אשֶֹר “happiness”, which is incorrectly represented in the MT by the problematic לְאֲשֶר .
Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass in Hiob 12,6 die Lager der Räuber friedlich und die Übertreter der Gesetze Gottes sicher waren, und dass dennoch beide Gruppen vielleicht ganz unglücklich waren. Somit muss Job 12,6c etwas enthalten, das die vorteilhaften Bedingungen dieser Gottlosen optimiert. Vorgeschlagen wird, dass dies natürlich „Glück“ war, das im MT durch das problematische falsch dargestellt wird.
