That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

Dost thou know their place (the place of darkness and light) so well as to be able to guide ("take" х laaqach (H3947)], as in Isaiah 36:17) them to (but Umbreit, 'reach it in') their own boundary? - i:e., the limit between light and darkness (Job 26:10).
