I had a question re: Job 2:9. The AV reads the words of Job's wife to her
husband as "...curse God, and die." in light of Job's tragedy. The Hebrew
however has "BaReCH" if my memory serves me right, and that word generally
means to "bless". Yet English translations render it "curse", even though
the MT does not use the word which means "curse", namely 'aRaR. Why do
English translations render it "Curse" instead of "Bless"? Many thanks.
