Job illustrates this by describing how miners work to extract precious resources from the earth, highlighting both their physical labor and the treasures they seek. This passage emphasizes the contrast between earthly pursuits and the elusive nature of true wisdom, which remains hidden from many.

The Key Word — בִּקֵּ֑עַ, bi.Ke.a'generated
The verb בָּקַע (baqa`) means to split or break open. It is used here in the Piel stem, indicating an active and intensive action, specifically referring to the miner's ability to cleave through rock. The perfect tense indicates a completed action, suggesting that the miner has successfully opened up the earth to reveal what lies beneath.
This word captures the essence of human effort in the pursuit of valuable resources. It conveys not just the physical act of breaking apart but also the metaphorical breaking through barriers to obtain knowledge or treasures that are otherwise hidden.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb בִּקֵּ֑עַ (he splits open) governs the sentence, with a prepositional phrase following it that describes where the action takes place: בַּ֭צּוּרוֹת (in the rocks). This structure emphasizes the action of the miner and the location of the work.
The phrase וְכָל־ יְ֝קָ֗ר (and every precious thing) acts as the object of the verb רָאֲתָ֥ה (it sees), indicating what the miner's eyes are able to spot, thus tying together the action and the outcome of the miner's labor.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יְאֹרִ֣ים as ποταμῶν (rivers), which broadens the understanding of the channels being created, suggesting a more extensive network of watercourses rather than just mining shafts.
This choice reflects a more generalized interpretation of the miner's work, emphasizing the creation of waterways alongside the extraction of treasures.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Job 28:10 states, "בַּ֭צּוּרוֹת יְאֹרִ֣ים בִּקֵּ֑עַ וְכָל־ יְ֝קָ֗ר רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֽוֹ׃" which translates to "He hews out channels in the rocks, and his eyes spot every treasure." The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in terms of the words used, as all seven words match in their word-by-word correspondence. There are no significant differences noted in the wording or meaning between these two witnesses for this verse.
