(Job 20:4). One of Job’s friends, Zophar the Naamathite, is making the point “that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.” And he is saying this has always been true, all the way back, to way back!
“Since Adam was placed upon earth” … To what point of time is Zophar referring? When did God do this?
The Concept that God took Adam from another place to place him “upon earth”, and “put him” in the Garden is expressed equally in both Hebrew and English.
