Job 10:10 | NET2full | STEP | Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese ?

‏ Job 10:10

10 Did you not pour ^{▼▼tn The verb נָתַךְ (natakh) means “to flow,” and in the Hiphil, “to cause to flow.”} me out like milk
and curdle ^{▼▼tn This verb קָפָא (qafaʾ) means “to coagulate.” In the Hiphil it means “to stiffen; to congeal.”} me like cheese? ^{▼▼tn The verbs in v. 10 are prefixed conjugations; since the reference is to the womb, these would need to be classified as preterites.} ^{▼▼sn These verses figuratively describe the formation of the embryo in the womb.}
