Hey Mike,

Where do you get that it means grass?

My lexicon defines עָֽשׁ׃ as

moth

herbage, grass

My question is how you can tell whether a moth or some kind of vegetation is meant in Job 4:19?

Either a moth, or vegetation can be crushed, so how does context help?

Could it be translated either way (as moth, or grass)?
