Dear Randall,

Are you, or is anyone else, seriously propounding the view that the
Hebrew text of Job was a translation and that the Aramaic found at
Qumran is (something like) the original?

<snip>
their lack was NOT accidental, as can be concluded from the many
non-biblical aramaic texts recovered, plus multiple copies of Job (one from
cave 11, one from cave 4), also known from LXX job 42.17 and rabbinic
stories. Job was apparently "special", and i'll leave it to y'all to figure
out why a central literary aramaic dialect of such a text would have been
in circulation and found its way to Judea and Qumran.
