Resumen
FOSTER, Stuart J.. "Hey, you! Job! Listen up." Elihu's Use of Job's Name and its Implications for Translation. Old testam. essays [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.3, pp.455-468. ISSN 2312-3621. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2312-3621/2016/v29n3a6.
In the context of the book of Job and in light of patterns of biblical Hebrew usage, Elihu's uses of Job's name in direct address are strongly marked and reveal him as sharply disrespectful to Job. This should influence interpretation of the Elihu chapters and be reflected in Bible translations, taking into account cultural patterns for using names. Examples from northern Mozambique provide contrast to English, French, and Portuguese patterns.
