Job 5:19
He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven.
BSB
ASV
He will deliver thee in six troubles; Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
KJV
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
He shall deliver thee in six troubles, yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. For what is denoted by the number 'six,' which is followed by 'the seventh,' saving the labour and course of the present life? For God, finishing all things on the sixth day, created man, and God rested on the seventh day; and this same seventh day is without an evening, for there is no longer any end to close the rest that followeth.
This intimates that,as long as we are here in this world, we must expect a succession of troubles, that the clouds will return after the rain. After six troubles may come a seventh; after many, look for more; but out of them all will God deliver those that are his, 2 Tim. iii.
He shall deliver thee in six troubles - Six is used here to denote an indefinite number, meaning that he would support in many troubles. This mode of speech is not uncommon among the Hebrews, where one number is mentioned, so that an extreme number may be immediately added. The method is, to mention a number within the limit, and then to add one more, meaning that in all instances the thing referred to would occur.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
