skin (human outer covering)
Job uses this word in his desperate lament, describing how he has sewn sackcloth over his skin. The cognates across Semitic languages (Arabic jild, Aramaic gildā) all point to the outer covering of the body. In Job's context, the skin represents his physical existence, now marked by suffering and ritual mourning—a boundary between his inner anguish and the world.

1. sense 1 — Job 16:15 presents a vivid image of mourning: sackcloth sewn onto skin. This isn't merely clothing but a visible marker of grief merged with the body itself. The skin here functions as the surface where Job's inner devastation becomes outwardly manifest. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'piel', French 'peau') confirm the straightforward anatomical sense, though Job's usage carries profound symbolic weight—his very flesh has become an altar of sorrow. 1×
