Marrow, the soft tissue inside bones; metaphor for vitality, prosperity, and bodily vigor
This anatomical term appears in Job 21:24, describing the wicked person who dies in prosperity: 'his bones are full of marrow.' Marrow represented the essence of vitality and health in ancient physiology. Full, moist marrow meant a body in its prime, well-nourished and vigorous. Job uses this image to challenge simplistic retribution theology—the wicked don't always suffer physically before death; some die with marrow-filled bones, in full strength. The metaphor makes bodily health a measure of life's quality.

1. sense 1 — The vital tissue filling healthy bones, used metaphorically in Job's challenge to retribution theology. Marrow-filled bones indicated peak physical condition, prosperity, and vigor. Job observes that some wicked people die in this state of bodily fullness rather than wasting away. The physiological detail makes concrete Job's theological point—divine justice doesn't always manifest as visible physical decline before death. 1×
