Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 42:16

16. The Septuagint makes Job live a hundred seventy years after his calamity, and two hundred forty in all. This would make him seventy at the time of his calamity, which added to a hundred forty in Hebrew text makes up two hundred ten; a little more than the age (two hundred five) of Terah, father of Abraham, perhaps his contemporary. Man's length of life gradually shortened, till it reached threescore and ten in Moses' time (Psalms 90:10). sons' sons—a proof of divine favor (Genesis 50:23;... read more

III. EPILOGUE 42:7-17The book closes as it opened, with a prose explanation by the inspired human writer. He gave us important information about Job’s friends (Job 42:7-9) and then Job’s fortunes (Job 42:10-17).". . . Satan and Job’s wife (who are prominent in the prologue as agents of evil who try to get Job to curse God) are intentionally omitted in the epilogue. This deliberate omission emphasizes a major teaching of the book, namely, that man’s relationship to God is not a ’give-and-get’... read more

B. Job’s Fortune 42:10-17Notice that God began to prosper Job again after he interceded for his friends (Job 42:10), not just after he repented. His willingness to pray for his enemies showed the genuineness of the transformation that had taken place in his heart. He no longer felt antagonistic toward God but accepting of his enemies (cf. Matthew 6:15).The Lord increased all that Job possessed twofold (Job 42:10).ItemBeforeAfterTotalSheep7,0007,00014,000Camels3,0003,0006,000Yoke of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:7-17

The Epilogue7-17. These vv. describe the happy ending to Job’s trials and his restoration to prosperity. It is a sequel in full accord with the religious ideas of the Hebrews. With no clear idea of a future state, where compensation will be found for the ills of this world, long life and earthly happiness were regarded as the only evidence of God’s favour and approval. The feeling that the happy ending spoils the effect is modern, but incorrect. For it would have made a very bad impression on... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 42:14

(14) Jemima.—This name perhaps means as fair as the day.Kezia—i.e., cassia, an aromatic bark, much prized by the ancients. (See Psalms 45:9.)Kerenhappuch—i.e., the horn for containing kohl for the eyes. The Eastern women are in the habit of painting the upper part of the eyelids with stibium, so that a black edge is formed about them and they seem larger. (See 2 Kings 9:30; Jeremiah 4:30.) The meaning of this name is the paint-box for this purpose. read more

(16) An hundred and forty years.—The particularity of this detail forbids us to suppose that the character of Job was other than real; his great age also shows that he must be referred to the very early patriarchal times, probably anterior to Moses. read more

The Divine Attributes Job 42:2 The meaning is that there is no purpose which the Almighty cannot carry out. I. Though literally the words seem merely an acknowledgment of power they are also an admission of wisdom, the plans or purposes of which may be beyond the understanding of man. II. Job does not, as might have been expected, acknowledge the Divine righteousness. His confession corresponds to the Almighty's address to him. That address did not insist on any one Divine attribute, but... read more

XXIX.EPILOGUEJob 42:7-17AFTER the argument of the Divine voice from the storm the epilogue is a surprise, and many have doubted whether it is in line with the rest of the work. Did Job need these multitudes of camels and sheep to supplement his new faith and his reconciliation to the Almighty will? Is 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... read more

VII. THE EPILOGUE: JOB’S RESTORATION AND BLESSING CHAPTER 42:7-17 1. Jehovah’s message to Job’s friends (Job 42:7-9 ) 2. Job’s restoration (Job 42:10-15 ) 3. The conclusion: Peace (Job 42:16-17 ) Job 42:7-9 . Like the beginning of the book, the prologue, the epilogue is not in a poetic measure, but in prose. The Lord addresseth Eliphaz as the most prominent one of the three friends of Job. His wrath is kindled against the three. Though they had apparently stood up for Him and defended... read more
