JOB 21:32

¹ JOB 21:32 · JOB 5:26 The close association with sheaves and death in "You will come to the grave in ripe old age, as shocks are taken away in their season", suggests that the meaning of [2] may be related to [1]. Similarly, DCH lists all four uses under one base meaning "shock (of grain)", saying that in Job 21:32 perhaps it is used collectively to mean burial mound.
