Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 42:15

Job 42:15. In all the land were no women found so fair, &c. In the Old Testament we often find women praised for their beauty, but never in the New, because the beauty of holiness is brought to a much clearer light by the gospel. Their father gave them inheritance. &c. Gave his daughters a share, and, possibly, an equal share with his sons in his inheritance, which, in so plentiful an estate, he might easily do, especially to such amiable sisters, without the envy of their... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 42:16-17

Job 42:16-17. After this Job lived a hundred and forty years Some conjecture that he was seventy when his troubles came upon him: if so, his age was double, as his other possessions. And saw his sons, and his sons’ sons Though his children were not doubled to him, yet in his children’s children they were more than doubled. As God appointed to Adam another seed instead of that which was slain, Genesis 4:25, so he did to Job with advantage. God has ways to repair the losses, and balance the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 42:7-17

God exalts Job (42:7-17)The three friends, in spite of the truths mixed in with their speeches, are now declared wrong. Job, in spite of his rash speech and irreverent protest, is now declared right. In accusing Job of great sin, the three friends had not spoken the truth, whereas Job, in claiming to be upright and not guilty of great sin, is now proved to be truthful. The friends’ theory that suffering is always the result of personal sin is proved wrong, whereas Job’s desire for a just God is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 42:16

"And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days."The importance of Job is again apparent in this narrative, because his age corresponded to that of the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This fact alone lifts him out of the category of ordinary persons, and endows this narrative of his life with special significance. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 42:14

Job 42:14. He called the name of the first Jemima— Job, being restored to his family and friends, is afterwards blessed with a numerous issue, seven sons and three daughters. Of the former nothing remarkable is recorded; but the names of the daughters are preserved, and they are said to have been the most beautiful women of their time. Their names are certainly of Arabic extraction: the eldest was named ימימה Jemima, which in the Arabic signifies a dove. This name was given to women of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 42:15

Job 42:15. In all the land were no women found so fair— Bishop Warburton, upon his allegorical plan, supposes, that as Job's wife was to represent the idolatrous wives, so the daughters in the allegory are to stand for the daughters of Israel; and to this end are described as beauties; nay, and fortunes too, for their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. "In short, the writer's desire was to recommend them as the most desirable parties; that so the men for the future might be... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 42:16

Job 42:16. After this Job lived an hundred and forty years— Mr. Le Clerc has urged, as an argument that this book is parabolical, that Job, according to this account, must have lived above two hundred years, and that this length of life will suit no time assigned for Job's existence. If, with Grotius, we say he lived while the Israelites wandered in the desert, the lives of men were then much shorter than two hundred years: if with others, that he lived soon after the Flood, the lives of men... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 42:14

14. Names significant of his restored prosperity (Genesis 4:25; Genesis 5:29). Jemima—"daylight," after his "night" of calamity; but MAURER, "a dove." Kezia—"cassia," an aromatic herb (Psalms 45:8), instead of his offensive breath and ulcers. Keren-happuch—"horn of stibium," a paint with which females dyed their eyelids; in contrast to his "horn defiled in the dust" (Psalms 45:8- :). The names also imply the beauty of his daughters. read more
