This noun describes loud tumultuous noise—shouting, roaring, or crashing sounds. In its single occurrence in Job 30:22, the text is uncertain (Ketiv/Qere variation), but appears to describe the roaring tumult of a storm into which God dissolves Job. The word relates to noise of devastation, storming, or loud confusion. Elsewhere in its plural form it describes city noises and shouting. The root idea is loud, chaotic sound—whether from celebrating crowds, attacking armies, thunderstorms, or general tumult. In Job's complaint, it likely represents the storm winds of divine assault that are dissolving his life.
