Job 39:12
Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?
BSB
ASV
Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gather the grain of thy threshing-floor?
KJV
Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
Wilt thou believe him? - That is, wilt thou trust him with the productions of the field? The idea is, that he was an untamed and unsubdued animal. He could not be governed, like the camel or the ox. If the sheaves of the harvest were laid on him, there would be no certainty that he would convey them where the farmer wished them. And gather it into thy barn? - Or, rather, “to thy threshing-floor,” for so the word used here (גרן gôren) means.
