In the open field (Aramaic noun for field/countryside used in poetic Job)
This word appears in Job 39:4, describing wild animals: 'they grow up in the open field' (ba-bar). BDB identifies this as an Aramaic loanword meaning open country or field, cognate to Aramaic 'bara' and Arabic 'barr.' The Aramaic vocabulary in Job is well-documented, reflecting either the book's antiquity or its non-Israelite setting. The phrase describes the untamed wilderness where wild creatures mature, contrasting with domesticated animals raised in enclosures. The 'open field' connotes freedom and wildness.

1. sense 1 — An Aramaic noun meaning 'open field' or 'countryside,' used in Job 39:4 with the preposition 'in' to describe where wild animals grow up. This Aramaism (related to Syriac, Arabic cognates) emphasizes uncultivated, open wilderness as opposed to cultivated farmland or enclosed pastures. Job uses it to paint the wildness and freedom of creatures beyond human control. Multilingual renderings (en-campo, in-the-open-field) preserve the sense of undomesticated space, though some retain the Hebrew term, acknowledging the loan-word status. 1×
