**The whole BDB entry:** vb. only or (Ges§ 53 R. 4 Köi 251) Impf. 2 mpl. תַּהְכְּרוּ in phrase לֹא־תֵבֹשׁוּ תַּהְכְּרוּ־לִי Jb 19:3, sense very dubious; Schult Thes De al. (as Hiph.) ye cause me (לְ = acc.) to wonder (cf. Arabic هَكَرَ ); others (as Qal) ye deal hardly with, wrong me (so context seems rather to require, v. Ges in Add 84 RobGes. Ew Di Da RV; cf. Arabic حَكَرَ wrong, detract from; Codd. read תחכרו, which is preferable, if this meaning be adopted; 𝔊 ἐπίκεισθέ μοι, 𝔙 opprimentes); conjectures are תְּחָֽרְפוּ Ol Hiob; תַּחַבְרוּ אֵלָ֑י Me; Siegf תִּתְחַבְּרוּ.
