Job 2:8
Douay-Rheims
And he took a potsherd and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
Rashi
to scratch himself with Heb. להתגרד. This word is spelled with a “dalet.” It is a Mishnaic expression (Rosh Hashanah 27b): “If he scraped it (גרדו) and reduced it to its normal size,” but גורר with a “reish” is only an expression of dragging, like (Shabbath 29b), “A person may drag a bed or a bench.”
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
