Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 31:26-27

Job 31:26-27. If I beheld the sun when it shined Namely, in its full strength and glory; when it most affected men’s minds and hearts with admiration of its beauty, and of the benefits which it is instrumental in communicating to the world, and thereby moved them to worship it; or the moon walking in brightness When it shined most clearly, or was at the full, at which time especially the idolaters worshipped it. Job, in this passage, evidently speaks of the worship of the host of heaven,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 31:28

Job 31:28. This also were an iniquity No less than the other fore- mentioned sins of adultery, oppression, &c.; to be punished by the judge The civil magistrate; who, being advanced and protected by God, is obliged to maintain and vindicate his honour, and consequently to punish idolatry. For I should have denied God Not directly, but by consequence, because this was to rob God of his prerogative, by giving to the creature that worship which is peculiar to God. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 31:1-40

Job reaffirms his innocence (31:1-40)Once again Job examines his past life to see if, in fact, he has committed some great sin for which God is now punishing him. He readily acknowledges that God sees everything and that his punishment of sin is just. God knows that he has not been guilty even of unlawful sexual lust (31:1-4). He has not cheated others to enrich himself. If someone can prove that he has, he will gladly surrender all the produce of his fields (5-8). If he has committed adultery,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 31:28

Job 31:28. This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge— The Hebrew of this passage is only two words, פלילי עון avon pelili, which Schultens renders iniquitas arbitratoria; meaning, as he explains it, such an iniquity as any one must judge to be so; and he confirms his interpretation by the use of the word פלילים pelilim, Deuteronomy 32:31. Their rock is not as our rock, even our enemies themselves being Judges 1:0 :e. in the judgment or opinion even of our very enemies; so that here... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 31:26

26. If I looked unto the sun (as an object of worship) because he shined; or to the moon because she walked, c. Sabaism (from tsaba, "the heavenly hosts") was the earliest form of false worship. God is hence called in contradistinction, "Lord of Sabaoth." The sun, moon, and stars, the brightest objects in nature, and seen everywhere, were supposed to be visible representatives of the invisible God. They had no temples, but were worshipped on high places and roofs of houses (Ezekiel 8:16... read more

27. enticed—away from God to idolatry. kissed . . . hand—"adoration," literally means this. In worshipping they used to kiss the hand, and then throw the kiss, as it were, towards the object of worship (1 Kings 19:18; Hosea 13:2). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 31:28

28. The Mosaic law embodied subsequently the feeling of the godly from the earliest times against idolatry, as deserving judicial penalties: being treason against the Supreme King (Deuteronomy 13:9; Deuteronomy 17:2-7; Ezekiel 8:14-18). This passage therefore does not prove Job to have been subsequent to Moses. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 31:1-40

Job’s continuing innocence ch. 31As was common in ancient Near Eastern judicial cases, Job concluded his summary defense with an oath of innocence. He did so in the form of a negative confession complete with self-imprecations. [Note: Parsons, p. 141. Cf. Michael Brennan Dick, "The Legal Metaphor in Job 31," Catholic Biblical Quarterly 41 (1979):42, 47.] He concluded with a challenge to God to present His charges in writing (Job 31:35-37). Job’s idea was that if God remained silent this would... read more
