Sometimes the grammar does not fully explain a particular word
structure in Job and you should guess that there are several readings, the
obvious and what is concealed, Ketub / Qere, legendums, kema, etc..
To me, the text can be seen as a solution to the censorship, cause
otherwise, if the author speaks openly, the text would not be considered as
valid for publication and wouldn´t see light. Let us assume that the
author is a woman, and their book must be published with the permission of
a group of men.
When I read Job, my habit of regarding retrograde legend in
numismatics and Psalms, leads me to ask whether the text says something to
that effect.
I recognize that this is an unusual exercise approaching delirium
and madness in searching for the meaning and reason.
