Exegesis
In the first clause the Piel perfect šillāḥ {שִׁלַּח | šillāḥ} “has sent” combines with pereʾ {פֶּרֶא | pereʾ} “wild donkey” and predicates ḥāp̄šî {חָפְשִׁי | ḥāp̄šî} “free,” emphasizing the creature’s unbounded state.
In context — Job 39:5
Who has set the wild donkey free, and who has loosed the bonds of the wild ass?
