to seize, snatch away suddenly
A verb depicting sudden, forceful seizure, found only in Job 9:12 where Job describes God's sovereign power: 'Behold, he snatches away—who can turn him back?' The Aramaic cognate means 'to break in pieces' and the Arabic root relates to 'death,' suggesting violent or irresistible action. Job uses this vivid image to express the absolute authority of God over creation—when he takes, no one can resist or recover what is seized. The term emphasizes both speed and overwhelming force.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — In Job's meditation on divine sovereignty, the verb describes God's irresistible action—he seizes and none can restore. The question structure (מִי יְשִׁיבֶנּוּ 'who can turn him back?') heightens the rhetorical force. English renders it 'he snatches away,' Spanish 'arrebata' (snatches/seizes), emphasizing the sudden, forceful nature of the action. This is not gentle taking but overpowering seizure, illustrating God's absolute power over human affairs and the futility of resisting his will. 1×
