יְתוּר H3491
to search, explore; a searching (noun form derived from the root)
This rare verbal form appears only in Job 39:8, describing the wild goat's activity of exploring or searching its mountain terrain for food. The context paints a picture of an untamed creature ranging freely across rugged landscapes, investigating every potential grazing spot. The multilingual evidence shows translators wrestling with this hapax legomenon, with some rendering it as a verb of exploration and others leaving it untranslated.

1. sense 1 — Used in Job 39:8 to describe the wild goat's behavior of searching or exploring mountainous terrain for sustenance. The Spanish 'explora' captures the active investigative sense, while English translations vary between treating this as a verbal form or a nominal 'searching.' The word connects to the semantic domain of mental activity because searching implies purposeful investigation rather than mere wandering. 1×
