2:11

וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת ׀ רֵעֵי אִיּוֹב אֵת כׇּל־הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת הַבָּאָה עָלָיו וַיָּבֹאוּ אִישׁ מִמְּקֹמוֹ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּֽימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי וְצוֹפַר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִי וַיִּוָּעֲדוּ יַחְדָּו לָבוֹא לָנֽוּד־לוֹ וּֽלְנַחֲמֽוֹ׃

Now when Iyyov’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Elifaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuĥite, and Żofar the Na῾amatite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

רעי איוב. אוהביו:

לנוד. כמו מי ינוד לך (ישעיהו נ״א:י״ט) לא תנודו לו (ירמיהו ט״ו:ה׳):

2:12

וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־עֵינֵיהֶם מֵֽרָחוֹק וְלֹא הִכִּירֻהוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּוּ וַֽיִּקְרְעוּ אִישׁ מְעִלוֹ וַיִּזְרְקוּ עָפָר עַל־רָאשֵׁיהֶם הַשָּׁמָֽיְמָה׃

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his coat, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

ולא הכירוהו. כי נשתנו פניו מחמת הייסורין:

השמימה. כלומר למעל' מראשיה' (הרבה) והוא היה להם מנהג אבל:

2:13

וַיֵּשְׁבוּ אִתּוֹ לָאָרֶץ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְשִׁבְעַת לֵילוֹת וְאֵין־דֹּבֵר אֵלָיו דָּבָר כִּי רָאוּ כִּי־גָדַל הַכְּאֵב מְאֹֽד׃

And they sat down with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his suffering was very great.

לארץ. על הארץ לצער בצערו:

3:1

אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵן פָּתַח אִיּוֹב אֶת־פִּיהוּ וַיְקַלֵּל אֶת־יוֹמֽוֹ׃ {פ}

After this Iyyov opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
