The Key Word — כְּבוֹדִי, Ke.vo.digenerated
The word כְּבוֹד (kabowd) refers to concepts of abundance, honor, and glory. It encompasses both external splendor and the dignity of one's position, as well as inner nobility. In this verse, it signifies Job's lost status and reputation, emphasizing his profound sense of deprivation.
This noun is in the construct state, indicating possession, which highlights that the honor stripped from Job is deeply personal. The parsing as a common noun shows it is a general term for honor, but here it carries the weight of Job's specific experience of loss.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses stripped and removed to convey the actions taken against Job's honor and crown.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main action is governed by two finite verbs: הִפְשִׁ֑יט (he has stripped off) and וַ֝יָּ֗סַר (and he has removed), indicating sequential actions. The structure emphasizes Job's sense of being actively deprived of his honor and crown.
The sentence is constructed with a noun phrase followed by prepositional phrases that specify the object of Job's loss, effectively linking his personal experience with broader themes of dignity and identity.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates כְּבוֹדִי as δόχαν (doxan), which carries the connotation of glory or honor, similar to the Hebrew but with a focus on the public aspect of reputation.
This choice in translation reflects an understanding of Job's situation as not only a personal loss but also a public one, emphasizing the social implications of his suffering.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
