Comentários de Citação sobre Jó 14:16

Nor as a widow waiting for my yavam, nor when married - and if she was his yevamah and he married her and warned her, and she secluded herself, he can extend an oath onto her that she was not defiled while she was a "shomeret yavam". A "shomeret yavam" is one who is anticipating and waiting for her yavam to marry her through levirate marriage. ["Shomeret" is] in the sense of "and his father kept the matter in mind" [Genesis 37:11] and "You would not keep watch over my sin" [Job 14:16].

And there are high ones. He has [many agents] over them to punish them when their time of visitation arrives, as in, “you do not wait תִּשְׁמוֹר for my sin,”⁸Iyov 14:16. [and as in,] “awaiting שֹׁמֵר the realization,”⁹Yeshayahu 26:2. [and as in,] “awaited שָׁמַר the matter.”¹⁰Bereishis 37:11. God waits, but ultimately He will punish them in the proper time.

שמר את הדבר OBSERVED THE MATTER — He awaited and looked forward to the time when this would come to pass. In the same sense we have (Isaiah 26:2) “that watch (שומר) for faithfulness” (i.e., for the performance of a promise) and (Job 14:16) — “לא תשמור for my sin” — which means “thou dost not wait for my sin”.

Watched. An expression of waiting, as in, "[and his father] kept the matter in mind ]שָׁמַר["²⁴Bereishis 37:11. i.e., waited, [and similarly] "do not wait [תִשְׁמוֹר] for my sin."²⁵Iyov 14:16.
