Commentary on Job 3:7
Job wishes his conception night had been 'solitary' (Hebrew 'galmud'—barren/sterile) with no joyful voice coming into it. Ancient conception was celebrated as divine blessing; Job wishes that night had been marked instead by barrenness and silence. This inverts the biblical pattern where barrenness brings shame and conception brings joy (Genesis 30:23). Job's suffering is so intense that he wishes the joy of his own conception had never occurred.
