Job 19:17

Though I intreated for the children's sake— The word חנתי channothi, rendered intreated, may signify the place of a man's dwelling. The sense may be rendered, And my habitation to the children of my body. Houbigant translates the verse, My wife abhors even my breath; the children of my body fly far from my offensive smell: and he observes, that we are nowhere told that all the children of Job perished, but only such as were feasting in their elder brother's house.
