Job 37:17
You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
BSB
ASV
How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
KJV
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
How thy garments are warm - What is the reason that the garments which we wear produce warmth? This, it would seem, was one of the philosophical questions which were asked at that time, and which it was difficult to explain.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
