Greetings:
I was looking recently at Job 28:26. The text states God made a path for lightning thunders.
(WDRK LXZYZ QLWT).
I'm afraid that I don't quite understand the grammar here.
The KJV ASV and RSV all treat these two nouns as a construct absolute chain (lightnings of the thunder). But that doesn't really seem to be what is happening with these two words. The majority of the other major translations take them together to refer to a thunderbolt (NASB) or a thunderstorm (NEB, NIV). The Message understands a waw between the two of them and translates thunder and lightning.
Could someone give me an idea about what is really going on with this construction! Thanks!
