Raba said: This shows that Job denied the resurrection of the dead. For he breaketh me with a tempest and multiplieth my wounds without cause.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. IX, 17.

He blasphemed with [mention of] a tempest, as it is written, For he breaketh me as with a tempest. Job said to God: Perhaps a tempest has passed before thee, and caused thee to confuse Iyob [Job] and Oyeb [enemy]. He was answered through a tempest, as it is written, <i>Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The Hebrew word is se'arah, which can also be translated 'hair'.
