Job 31:32

32 But
This verse forms another parenthesis. Job stops almost at every point now in the conditional clauses to affirm his purity and integrity.
no stranger had to spend the night outside,
for I opened my doors to the traveler
The word in the MT, אֹרחַ (’orakh, “way”), is a contraction from אֹרֵחַ (’oreakh, “wayfarer”); thus, “traveler.” The same parallelism is found in Jer 14:8. The reading here “on/to the road” is meaningless otherwise.
