ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף איוב 28:13

This also bears out the metaphor of a plant that he had previously used in this matter, one that a gardener uproots and replants elsewhere, in another spot, where it will grow and flourish (Job 8:11-19). And so, in a similar way, God uproots the righteous person from the land of scorching heat (Hosea 13:5), where he is destined to misery and scarcity and replants him in the land of the living (Job 28:13). In the world of the spirit where He will satisfy his soul in the shimmering light and he will be like a watered garden (Isaiah 58:11) producing fruit and produce.

“Whence [me-ayin] can Wisdom be found?” [Job 28:12]. This Wisdom itself derives from Nought [ayin], the primordial Nought, no mortal knowing its value [‘erkah] which here means its order and array. That is to say, no one knows how to order the primal existences that are situated within her or how to know its characteristics. As it is written: “Who like Me can announce, can foretell it—and match Me thereby? Even as I told the future to an ancient people …” [Isa. 44:7]. “[For Wisdom] can not be found in the land of the living” [Job 28:13]. Even the angels do not know it. Thus the text states figuratively: “The deep says: ‘It is not in me.’ The sea says: ‘I do not have it’” [Job 28:14]. Similarly we find “But whence does wisdom come?” [Job 28:20] and “it is hidden from the eyes of all of the living” [Job 28:21], from them whose lives are eternal. “Concealed from all the fowl of heaven”—the ministering angels.
