Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 42:1-17

NotesJob 42:11. “A piece of money.” According to Gesenius and others, קשׂיִטָה (kesitah), from the unused root קָשַׂט = قَسَطٰ (kasata) to “be just or true;” whence قسْط (Kistoon) “balances;” a certain weight of money, equal to about four shekels (Genesis 42:35; Genesis 33:19, compared with Job 23:16). According to SCHULTENS, a stater, or lump of gold exactly weighed. SEPTUAGINT: “A lamb.” So ABULWALID and ABEN EZRA. VULGATE: “A sheep.” So SYRIAC, ARABIC, and COVERDALE. LUTHER: “A flne... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 42:1-17

Chapter 42Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that you can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from thee ( Job 42:1-2 ).Pretty important: "I know God can do everything." Secondly, "I know that you can't hide a single thought from God."The Bible says concerning Jesus that He didn't need anyone to come and tell Him of other people because He knew man and He knew what was in man. You can't hide any thoughts from God. The Bible tells us that some day our very thoughts are to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 42:1-17

Job 42:5 . But now mine eye seeth thee. I have seen thee in thy works, and heard the voice of nature. I have heard all those speeches of my friends, circumscribed in knowledge, and erroneous in judgment; but now the clouds depart; now the sun at length shines. Now, I see thy righteousness in dealing thus with a worm, to make my case alike instructive to angels and to men. Assuredly, thou hast a right to resume thy gifts, according to thy good pleasure, and to take from man his mortal... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Job 42:12-17

Job 42:12-17So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job.The limitation of Job’s blessings to this lifeIs there not something incongruous in the large award of temporal good, and even something unnecessary in the renewed honour among men? To us it seems that a good man will be satisfied with the favour and fellowship of a loving God. Yet, assuming that the conclusion is a part of the history on which the poem was founded, we can justify the blaze of splendour that bursts on Job after sorrow,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:13

13. He had also seven sons and three daughters The number of his children was not doubled; for the dead were with God. The omission is significant, and can only be accounted for by the belief in a reunion after death. (See p. 72, 73.) “God did not double his children to Job, in order that he might not despair of seeing again the children he had lost; and in order that he might know that, though they were taken from him, they were still alive; and that we also might know that Job, who had... read more
