פירוש על איוב 2:9

maintain Heb. מחזיק, hold.

After losing all his possessions and children, Job had still blessed God. But he now just remains silent. This time, he could not bring himself to do so. His wife taunts him: Are you still resolved to be perfect? Bless God once more again and you'll be dead!

and die Heb. ומת. This is an imperative expression, as (Deut. 32: 50), “And die on the mountain.”
