In the context of Job's suffering, this phrase indicates a severe physical affliction. The description of the skin growing black suggests a condition of extreme dehydration or disease, possibly leprosy or another skin ailment common in the ancient Near East. Historically, such conditions were seen as both physical and spiritual trials, often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or testing. Job's use of this vivid imagery underscores the depth of his suffering and the transformation of his physical appearance due to his afflictions.<p><b>and peels</b><br />The Hebrew verb "&#1504;&#1464;&#1513;&#1463;&#1473;&#1500;" (nashal) means to fall off or to shed. This peeling of the skin further emphasizes the severity of Job's condition. In the ancient world, skin diseases were not only physically painful but also socially isolating, as they could render a person ceremonially unclean. Job's description here highlights his isolation and the visible manifestation of his internal turmoil. The peeling skin serves as a metaphor for the stripping away of his former life and dignity.<p><b>and my bones burn</b><br />The phrase "bones burn" uses the Hebrew word "&#1506;&#1464;&#1510;&#1464;&#1501;" (etsem) for bones, which often symbolizes strength and vitality. The burning sensation, described by the Hebrew verb "&#1495;&#1464;&#1512;&#1464;&#1492;" (charah), conveys intense pain and fever. In biblical literature, bones are sometimes associated with the core of one's being, and the burning of bones suggests a deep, consuming agony that affects Job at the most fundamental level. This imagery reflects the intensity of Job's suffering, both physically and spiritually, as he feels consumed by his afflictions.<p><b>with fever</b><br />The Hebrew word "&#1495;&#1465;&#1512;&#1462;&#1489;" (chorev) can be translated as fever or heat, indicating a state of inflammation or intense heat within the body. Fever in the ancient context was often seen as a purifying fire, a trial by which impurities are burned away. For Job, this fever represents not only physical distress but also the fiery trial of his faith. It is a test of endurance and trust in God amidst overwhelming suffering. The fever serves as a reminder of the refining process that believers may undergo, trusting that God is sovereign even in the midst of their deepest pain.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/30.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 30.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">My skin is black upon me</span> (see the comment on vers. 28, 29, <span class="accented">ad init.</span>), <span class="accented"><span class="cmt_word"></span>and my bones are burned with heat</span>. The "burning pains" in the bones, which characterize at least one form of elephantiasis, have been already mentioned (see the comment on ver. 17). In ordinary elephantiasis there is often "intense pain in the lumbar region and groin," which the patient might think to be in his bones. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/30-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">My skin</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1506;&#1453;&#1493;&#1465;&#1512;&#1460;&#1497;</span> <span class="translit">(&#8216;&#333;&#183;w&#183;r&#238;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct &#124; first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5785.htm">Strong's 5785: </a> </span><span class="str2">Skin, hide, leather</span><br /><br /><span class="word">grows black</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1513;&#1473;&#1464;&#1495;&#1463;&#1443;&#1512;</span> <span class="translit">(&#353;&#257;&#183;&#7717;ar)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7835.htm">Strong's 7835: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be dim, dark</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and peels,</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1502;&#1460;&#1504;&#1468;&#1460;&#1497;&#1470;</span> <span class="translit">(min&#183;n&#238;-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> </span><span class="str2">A part of, from, out of</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and my bones</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1493;&#1456;&#1506;&#1463;&#1510;&#1456;&#1502;&#1460;&#1497;&#1470;</span> <span class="translit">(w&#601;&#183;&#8216;a&#7779;&#183;m&#238;-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw &#124; Noun - feminine singular construct &#124; first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6106.htm">Strong's 6106: </a> </span><span class="str2">A bone, the body, the substance, selfsame</span><br /><br /><span class="word">burn</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1495;&#1464;&#1437;&#1431;&#1512;&#1464;&#1492;</span> <span class="translit">(&#7717;&#257;&#183;r&#257;h)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2787.htm">Strong's 2787: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be hot or scorched, to burn</span><br /><br /><span class="word">with fever.</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1495;&#1465;&#1469;&#1512;&#1462;&#1489;&#1475;</span> <span class="translit">(&#7717;&#333;&#183;re&#7687;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2721.htm">Strong's 2721: </a> </span><span class="str2">Dryness, drought, heat</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/job/30-30.htm">Job 30:30 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/job/30-30.htm">OT Poetry: Job 30:30 My skin grows black and peels (Jb) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/job/30-29.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Job 30:29"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Job 30:29" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/job/30-31.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Job 30:31"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Job 30:31" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
