Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 42:10-17

You have heard of the patience of Job (says the apostle, Jas. 5:11) and have seen the end of the Lord, that is, what end the Lord, at length, put to his troubles. In the beginning of this book we had Job's patience under his troubles, for an example; here, in the close, for our encouragement to follow that example, we have the happy issue of his troubles and the prosperous condition to which he was restored after them, which confirms us in counting those happy which endure. Perhaps, too, the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 42:13

He had also seven sons, and three daughters. The same number of children, and of the same sort he had before, Job 1:2 ; and according to Nachman the very same he had before, which the additional letter in the word "seven" is with him the notification of; so that the doubting of what he had before, Job 42:10 ; respects only his substance, and particularly his cattle; though the Targum says he had fourteen sons, and so Jarchi F20 Vid. Balmes. Gram. Strat. 26. ; others think these may... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 42:14

And he called the name of the first Jemima ,.... That is, the name of the first and eldest daughter was called by Job Jemima; which either signifies "day", so the Targum interprets it, and most do, and so is the same with Diana; or, as Spanheim F21 Hist. Jobi, c. 12. s. 7. observes, it may be the same with the Arabic word "jemama", which signifies a turtle or dove F23 Golii Lexic. Arab. col. 2767, 2768. ; and who also observes that a country in Arabia is so called, and perhaps... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 42:15

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job ,.... Either in the whole world, which is not improbable: or it may be rather in the land or country in which they dwelt; and which may be gathered from their names, as before observed. The people of God, and children of Christ, the antitype of Job, are all fair, and there is no spot in them; a perfection of beauty, perfectly comely, through the comeliness of Christ put upon them, and are without spot or wrinkle, or... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:13

Seven sons and three daughters - This was the same number as before; and so the Vulgate, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic read: but the Chaldee doubles the sons, "And he had fourteen sons, and three daughters." read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:14

The name of the first Jemima - ימימה yemimah , days upon days. Kezia - קציעה ketsiah , cassia, a well-known aromatic plant. And, Keren-happuch - הפוך קרן keren happuch , the inverted or flowing horn, cornucopiae, the horn of plenty. The Chaldee will not permit these names to pass without a comment, to show the reason of their imposition: "He called the first Jemimah, because she was as fair as the day; the second Ketsiah, because she was as precious as cassia; the third... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 42:15

Gave them inheritance among their brethren - This seems to refer to the history of the daughters of Zelophehad, given Numbers 28:1-8 , who appear to have been the first who were allowed an inheritance among their brethren. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:1-17

This concluding chapter divides into two parts. In the first part ( Job 42:1-6 ) Job makes his final submission, humbling himself in the dust before God. In the second (verses 7-17) the historical framework, in which the general dialogue is set, is resumed and brought to a close. God's approval of Job is declared, and his anger denounced against the three friends, who are required to expiate their guilt by a sacrifice, and only promised forgiveness if Job will intercede on their behalf... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:1-17

The conclusion of the drama. I. THE SETTLEMENT OF THE THIRD CONTROVERSY BETWEEN JEHOVAH AND JOB . ( Job 42:1-6 .) This controversy, it will be remembered, arose out of the intensity of Job's sufferings and the perplexity of Job's spirit, which caused him on the one hand to form too favourable an opinion of his own, and on the other hand too unfavourable an opinion of God's, righteousness; to misinterpret the facts of providence almost as egregiously as, though in an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 42:1-17

Commentators have generally recognized that this psalm is introductory and prefatory. Jerome says that many called it "the Preface of the Holy Ghost." Some of the Fathers did not even regard it as a psalm at all, but as a mere preface, and so reckoned the second psalm as the first (in many manuscripts of the New Testament, the reading is "first psalm" instead of "second psalm" in Acts 13:33 ). The composition is, as Hengstenberg observes, "a short compendium of tile main subject of the... read more
