Their walls, possibly their vine-rows, with scholarly debate between structural and agricultural meanings
Job's lament about the wicked includes this disputed term—does it mean the walls between which oil is pressed, or rows of vines/olives in an orchard? The consonants support either reading. Agricultural and architectural vocabulary sometimes overlap in ancient texts, especially when describing the infrastructure of farming. Modern translations diverge here, some seeing walls (structures), others seeing planted rows (agriculture). The context of oil-pressing and hunger suggests economic oppression.

1. sense 1 — Appears in Job 24:11 depicting laborers who press oil within 'their walls/rows' yet suffer hunger—a picture of unjust exploitation. The possessive suffix 'their' could refer to the oppressors' property. Aramaic cognates mean 'row,' supporting an agricultural reading of vine or olive rows. Spanish and German preserve the original Hebrew in brackets, signaling the term's ambiguity. The semantic tension between structure and plantation persists. 1×
