--- title: "Bullinger" description: "Man. Hebrew." image: "/images/missing.jpg" url: "https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/job/14" --- **Man.** Hebrew. *'adam.* App-14 . "Man" is to [Job 14:1](../../../kjv/job/14/1) what [Job 14:1](../../../kjv/job/14/1) is to the whole paragraph. The Hebrew accent ( *Dehi* ) emphasizes the word "man", and divides the verse into two members; viz. (1) man and (2) his characteristics which are three: (1) his origin (born in sin), (2) his brevity of life, and (3) his fullness of sorrow. **dost. ?** Figure of speech *Erotesis.* **me.** Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate read "him". **Who . . . ?** Figure of speech *Erotesis.* **bounds.** Four early printed editions read "fixed times". **For there is hope of a tree.** This is a positive independent statement, about which there is no doubt. There should be a full stop here. Then the Hebrew accents mark off two hypotheses: (1) if it is cut down ([Job 14:7](../../../kjv/job/14/7) ) the Spring will wake its sap; (2) if waxing old ([Job 14:8](../../../kjv/job/14/8) ) it may still send forth a new growth. But there is no hope of man's living again like a tree. If he is to "live again" he must be raised from the dead. **plants** = a new plant. **man** = strong man. Hebrew. *geber.* App-14 . **wasteth away** = will decompose. **giveth up, &c.** See note on [Job 3:11](../../../kjv/job/3/11) . **where . . . ?** Figure of speech *Erotesis.* App-6 . **man.** Hebrew. *'ish.* App-14 . **O.** Figure of speech *Ecphonesis.* App-6 . **the grave** = Sheol. App-35 . **shall . . . ?** Figure of speech *Erotesis.* App-6 . **live again:** i.e. in resurrection. Compare [John 11:25](../../../kjv/john/11/25) , [John 11:26](../../../kjv/john/11/26) . **appointed time** = service, or warfare. **change** = improvement. Hebrew. *halaph =* a. change for the better. See note on [Leviticus 27:10](../../../kjv/leviticus/27/10) . **desire** = a longing. **sin.** Hebrew. *Chata* App-44 . **transgression.** Hebrew. *pasha'.* App-44 . **iniquity.** Hebrew. *'avah.* App-44 . **The waters, &c.** Figure of speech *Paroemia.* App-6 . **man** = a mortal. Hebrew. *'en6sh.* App-14 . **But.** This verse describes what happens while he is alive. See below. **his soul** = he himself. Hebrew. *nephesh.* App-13 . **within** = over. **mourn:** i.e. mourn "over himself". Hebrew. *'alaiv,* as in [Hosea 10:5](../../../kjv/hosea/10/5) . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/job/14#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Job 14"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/job/14#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/job/14","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Job 14","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/job/14#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Man.
