Vetus Testamentum 49.3 (July 1999), pp. 421-425 pp. 421f. ↑ The word "שדין‎" appears in the ketiv of Job 19:29, where it is somewhat obscure ("גורו לכם מפני־חרב כי־חמה עונות חרב למען תדעון שדין‎"). Knauf suggests that this may mean "revenger gods" in his article on Shadday, see reference later. ↑ Harriet Lutzky, "Ambivalence toward Balaam" Vetus Testamentum 49.3 [July 1999, pp. 421-425] p. 421. ↑ J.A.
