The Key Word — הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק, ha.ma'.Tikgenerated
The word הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק (ha.ma'.Tik) is a participle from the root עָתַק (athaq), meaning 'to remove' or 'to proceed.' It conveys the idea of moving something from one place to another, often implying a sense of authority or power in the action. In this context, it emphasizes God's ability to affect the natural world without it being recognized.
The Hiphil form indicates that this is an active role, suggesting that God is the one who initiates this movement. The use of this word in Job underscores the theme of divine sovereignty, as mountains symbolize stability and permanence, yet they can be moved by God's will.
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 finite verb הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק (ha.ma'.Tik) governs the main action of the verse, with additional phrases providing context and details. The structure emphasizes God's action as the central theme.
The sentence construction highlights the contrast between God's omnipotence and the ignorance of creation, with the verb leading the statement and the subsequent phrases elaborating on the action and its implications.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק as παλαιῶν (palaiōn), which carries the connotation of something being aged or old, suggesting a different nuance than simply 'removing.' This choice may reflect an interpretation that considers the enduring nature of God's actions in contrast to human perception.
This translation indicates a broader understanding of God's power, as it connects the act of moving mountains to the timelessness of His authority.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Job 9:5 states that God has the power to move mountains without anyone knowing it, and He can overturn them in His anger. This verse emphasizes God's might and the lack of awareness from creation regarding His actions.

Are among the most sublime and impressive of the Creator’s works on earth, and from the noblest and most enduring monuments of great events. Most of the mountains of Scripture thus stand as witnesses for God—every view of their lofty summits, and every recurrence to them in thought reminding us of the sacred facts and truths connected with them. Thus Mount Ararat is a standing memorial of the deluge of man’s sin, God’s justice, and God’s mercy. Mount Sinai asserts the terrors of the divine law. Mount Carmel summons us, like the prophet Elijah of old, not to "halt between two opinions;" but if Jehovah is God, to love and serve him. The mount of the Transfiguration still shines with the glory of the truths there taught, and Mounts Ebal and Gerizim still echo the curses and the blessings once so solemnly pronounced from them. So Mount Hor, Nebo, Lebanon, and Gilboa have been signalized by…
