Harold,

No I have not. What is this "NET" ? I do not understand why Torczyner [Tur-Sinai] need to go to Aramaic for something as obvious as this.

Dear Isaac,

Did you see the NET note, which agrees with the meaning you give the
verb? The NET says:

The verb יִתְעַלֶּם (yit’allem) has been translated “is hid” or “hides
itself.” But this does not work easily in the sentence with the
preposition “upon them.” Torczyner suggested “pile up” from an Aramaic
root עֲלַם (’alam), and E. Dhorme (Job, 87) defends it without changing
the text, contending that the form we have was chosen for alliterative
value with the prepositional phrase before it.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
