The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:7-17

Conclusion of the story. I. THE DIVINE JUSTIFICATION OF JOB . ( Job 42:7-10 .) The cure of the inward sickness of the sufferer's spirit is followed here, as we often see in the course of life, by outward health and happiness. 1 . The reproof of the friends. ( Job 42:7 .) Addressing Eliphaz, as their chief spokesman, Jehovah declares his displeasure that they have not spoken the truth concerning him. Not that they have spoken with wilful dishonesty, but that they have been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:7-17

The Divine vindication of Job. The poem ends in undimmed brightness. The great ends of suffering have been answered. Job has been put to the proof and tried, and he has been found faithful. God has permitted all the joy and light of his life to be wiped out. His faithful servant of whom it was said, "There is none like him in the earth," has been subjected to the severest tests; yet, according to the Divine assertion, he has spoken of God "the thing that is right." Now he who had appeared to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:11-17

The return of prosperity. Job is now restored to the favour of God. The result is earthly prosperity. With our Christian light we know that this does not always follow, nor is it the best blessing. But as the portrait of Job is painted in the colours of his day, we must accept the lessons which it contains in sympathy with his age and circumstances. Let us, then, look at the ingredients of the new prosperity. I. A REVIVAL OF OLD FRIENDSHIPS . We are horrified to have it brought... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:14

And he called the name of the first, Jemima . The name "Jemima" is probably derived from yom ( יוֹם ), "day," and means "Fair as the day." And the name of the second, Kezia . "Kezia" (rather, "Keziah") was the Hebrew name of the spice which the Greeks and Romans called "cassia," a spice closely allied to cinnamon, and much esteemed in the East (see Herod; 3.110). And the name of the third, Keren-happuch ; literally, horn of stibium—stibium being the dye (antimony) with which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:15

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job . Beauty has always been highly valued in the East; and Job would feel himself highly favoured in having three beautiful daughters. It may have been on account of their great beauty that their father gave them inheritance among their brethren, which was certainly an unusual practice in the East. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:16

After this lived Job an hundred and forty years . It has been concluded from this statement, combined with that at the close of verse 10, that Job was exactly seventy years of age when his calamities fell upon him; but this is really only a conjecture, since the statement that "God added to all that had been Job's to the double," does not naturally apply to anything but his property. We may, however, fairly allow that (as Professor Lee says) he "could scarcely have been less than seventy"... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 42:14

And he called the name of the first, Jemima - It is remarkable that in the former account of the family of Job, the names of none of his children are mentioned, and in this account the names of the daughters only are designated. “Why” the names of the daughters are here specified, is not intimated. They are significant, and they are “so” mentioned as to show that they contributed greatly to the happiness of Job on the return of his prosperity, and were among the chief blessings which gladdened... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 42:15

And their father gave them inheritance among their brethren - This is mentioned as a proof of his special regard, and is also recorded because it was not common. Among the Hebrews the daughter inherited only in the case where there was no son, Numbers 27:8. The property was divided equally among the sons, with the exception that the oldest received a double portion; see Jahn’s “Bib. Arch.” section 168. This custom, prevailing still extensively in the East, it seems existed in the time of Job,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 42:16

After this Job lived an hundred and forty years - As his age at the time his calamities commenced is not mentioned, it is of course impossible to determine how old he was when he died. The Septuagint, however, has undertaken to determine this, but on what authority is unknown. They render this verse, “And Job lived after this affliction an hundred and seventy years: so that all the years that he lived were two hundred and forty.” According to this, his age would have been seventy when his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 42:14

Job 42:14. And he called the name of the first, Jemima Which the LXX., and Vulgate, as derived from יום , jom, interpret day. The Targum is, Her beauty was like that of the day. The name of the second, Kezia Because she was precious like cassia, says the Targum. The meaning probably is, Pleasant as cassia, or fine spices. And the name of the third, Keren- happuch Which the LXX. render, Αμαλθαιας κερας , Amalthea’s horn, or, The horn of plenty. The Targum, however, says she was... read more
