Job 31:7
7If my steps have turned aside from the way, or if my heart has followed my eyes, or if a blemish has clung to my hands, ▼▼31:7The Latin word ‘et’ is usually translated as ‘and,’ but in this and certain other contexts, it clearly means ‘or.’ Job is not saying: ‘If I have done all three of these things,’ but rather, ‘If I have done any one of these things.’ Therefore, the translation is ‘or’ not ‘and.’(Conte)
