Job 30:6
so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
BSB
ASV
So that they dwell in frightful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
KJV
To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys,.... Or "brooks" (l), in such hollow places as were made by floods and streams of waters: in caves of the earth, and in the rocks; where they betook themselves for fear of men, and through shame, being naked and miserable not fit to be seen: Job has respect to the Horites and Troglodytes, his neighbours, who dwelt in such places chiefly. (l) נחלים "torrentium", Tigurine version, Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
They are forced "to dwell." cliffs of the valleys--rather, "in the gloomy valleys"; literally, "in the gloom of the valleys," or wadies. To dwell in valleys is, in the East, a mark of wretchedness.
