na.haq describes the braying heard from animals in the scenes of Job.

The supplied passages show a single use: an animal-like braying sound, heard in Job's question about a wild donkey and in the description of those among the bushes.

Senses in use

  1. Braying in animal imagery · dominant

    In Job 6:5, the Qal imperfect masculine singular form occurs in a question about a wild donkey over grass; the APB renders the clause, “Does the wild donkey bray over grass.” In Job 30:7, the Qal imperfect masculine plural form describes those between the bushes; the APB renders, “Between the bushes they bray.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “bray” in both cited clauses. This consistently confirms the verse-level animal-sound imagery rather than establishing a finer distinction.
