Most English versions follow MT-Q (RSV NRSV "is joined with" | NJPS "is reckoned among" | NIV "is among" | REB "is counted among") as also most commentaries. Seouw takes the MT-K as qal, and reads the phrase as interrogative (rhetorical question) "Who is the one who chooses?". Murphy also takes it as interrogative, "who can be set apart?" (understanding בחר here as "to be set apart"). The existence of a pual form has been questioned (cf. Seouw, and Gordis, The Book of Job, 418, on JOB 36:21).'}, {'Caller': 4, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['02304801000014'], 'Content': 'NJB "chosen" = [1] | RSV "tried" NIV NJPS NRSV GNT CEV "tested" REB "purified" = [2]'}]
