Commentary for Job 14:5

אִ֥ם חֲרוּצִ֨ים ׀ יָמָ֗יו מִֽסְפַּר־חֳדָשָׁ֥יו אִתָּ֑ךְ חקו [חֻקָּ֥יו] עָ֝שִׂ֗יתָ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲבֽוֹר׃

Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with Thee, And Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

Rashi on Job

If his days are limited If he is requited with this recompense—that his days are limited to a day set for death, and the number of months is set with You, and [that] You set this boundary—and he will no longer exist in the world, [then] this payment is sufficient for You.
