1 ISA 17:4 NJPS interprets the word here as "dwindle", understanding כְּבֹוד in a physical sense as "mass". 2 JOB 28:4 There is much discussion over the meaning of דלל here. NJPS ("destitute of") understands it as having the same basic meaning of the other occurrences analysed in this entry. Most versions imply a root דלל II (cf. HALOT, DCH) meaning "to dangle".
