The Key Word — פָּתָה, pathahgenerated
The verb פָּתָה (pathah) means to entice or deceive, often implying a sense of gullibility or simplicity. It suggests that something appealing can lead one astray, as it opens the door to temptation.
In this context, Job acknowledges that his heart was enticed in secrecy, indicating a struggle with hidden desires that could lead to moral failure. The parsing as a sequential imperfect verb shows that this was an ongoing state, not a one-time event.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is וַיִּ֣פְתְּ, it was enticed, which governs the entire clause. The structure reveals a cause-and-effect relationship: Job's heart was enticed, leading to the action described in the following clause.
The phrase בַּסֵּ֣תֶר לִבִּ֑י functions as a prepositional phrase indicating the context of the enticement, while וַתִּשַּׁ֖ק introduces the action of kissing, illustrating the physical expression of that internal struggle.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates פָּתָה as καὶ (and), which does not capture the nuance of enticement present in the Hebrew. This choice may reflect a broader interpretation rather than a direct correspondence.
The Greek word λάθρᾳ for secrecy aligns with the Hebrew בַּסֵּ֣תֶר, indicating a consistent understanding of hiddenness between the texts.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Job 31:27 reads, "וַיִּ֣פְתְּ בַּסֵּ֣תֶר לִבִּ֑י וַתִּשַּׁ֖ק יָדִ֣י לְפִֽי׃" which translates to "so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth." The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in content, as all six words correspond directly, although the order and articles differ due to the nature of Greek syntax. There are no significant differences in meaning between these two witnesses for this verse.
וַיִּ֣פְתְּ בַּסֵּ֣תֶר לִבִּ֑י וַתִּשַּׁ֖ק יָדִ֣י לְפִֽי׃
6 of the 6 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
