Job 3:3 Douay-Rheims

Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

the night in which--rather "the night which said." The words in italics are not in the Hebrew. Night is personified and poetically made to speak. So in Job 3:7, and in Psa 19:2. The birth of a male in the East is a matter of joy; often not so of a female.
