The study of Job 28 bridges philological and literary criticism to uncover its deeper meanings. It emphasizes the poem's metaphors, linking them to the heroic narratives of ancient Mesopotamian kings, particularly the Gilgamesh epic, rather than focusing solely on mining technology. Additionally, a detailed philological and textual commentary employs comparative methods alongside an aesthetic approach to restore the poem as a work of art. This analysis reveals the complex, image-driven nature of Job 28, enriching its interpretation as both poetry and theology.
