Job 22:30
He will deliver even one who is not innocent, rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”
BSB
ASV
He will deliver even him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
KJV
He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
He shall deliver the island of the innocent - The word אי ai, which we translate island, is most probably the Arabic particle (Arabic) whosoever, whatsoever, any, whosoever he may be, as (Arabic) ai rajuli, whatsoever man he may be. And it is most probable that both words are Arabic, (Arabic) or (Arabic) any innocent, chaste, pure, or holy person; for the word has the same meaning both in Hebrew and Arabic.
The irony is strikingly exhibited in Eliphaz unconsciously uttering words which exactly answer to what happened at last: he and the other two were "delivered" by God accepting the intercession of Job for them (Job 42:7, 8).
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
