Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 1:19

19. a great wind from the wilderness—south of Job's house. The tornado came the more violently over the desert, being uninterrupted (Isaiah 21:1; Hosea 13:15). the young men—rather, "the young people"; including the daughters (so in Hosea 13:15- :). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 1:20

20. Job arose—not necessarily from sitting. Inward excitement is implied, and the beginning to do anything. He had heard the other messages calmly, but on hearing of the death of his children, then he arose; or, as EICHORN translates, he started up ( :-). The rending of the mantle was the conventional mark of deep grief (Genesis 37:34). Orientals wear a tunic or shirt, and loose pantaloons; and over these a flowing mantle (especially great persons and women). Shaving the head was also usual in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 1:21

21. Naked— ( :-). "Mother's womb" is poetically the earth, the universal mother (Ecclesiastes 5:15; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Psalms 139:15). Job herein realizes God's assertion (Psalms 139:15- :) against Satan's (Psalms 139:15- :). Instead of cursing, he blesses the name of JEHOVAH (Hebrew). The name of Jehovah, is Jehovah Himself, as manifested to us in His attributes (Psalms 139:15- :). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 1:6-22

1. The first test 1:6-22These verses reveal that angels ("sons of God," Job 1:6), including Satan, periodically report to God on their activities. Satan was doing then what he did in the Garden of Eden and still does today, namely, "seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). [Note: For a summary of what the Book of Job teaches about angels, see ibid., p. 232. See too Sydney H. T. Page, "Satan: God’s Servant," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 50:3 (September 2007):449-65.] In Eden,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 1:1-22

The PrologueJob 1, 2, which form the Prologue to the book, describe (a) the prosperity and piety of Job; (b) a scene in heaven in which the Satan questions the motives of his piety; and (c) his subsequent trials, which are permitted by God in order to test and confirm His servant’s righteousness, and to show to angels and men that a man may serve God for His own sake and not from self-interest. So far from being dependent on outside conditions the true servant of God will endure the severest... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 1:20

(20) And worshipped.—Compare the conduct of David (2 Samuel 12:20) and of Hezekiah (2 Kings 19:1). Moments of intense sorrow or trial, like moments of intense joy, force us into the immediate presence of God. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 1:21

(21) Thither.—If taken literally, can only refer to the womb, which in that case must here mean the earth, with a probable allusion to Genesis 3:19. (Comp. Job 17:14.)Blessed be the name of the Lord.—The very word used in a contrary sense (Job 1:11). Thus was Satan foiled for the first time. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 1:1-22

Job 1:1 Taking the temptation of Job for his model, Goethe has similarly exposed his Faust to trial, and with him the tempter succeeds. His hero falls from sin to sin, from crime to crime; he becomes a seducer, a murderer, a betrayer, following recklessly his evil angel wherever he chooses to lead him; and yet, with all this, he never wholly forfeits our sympathy. In spite of his weakness, his heart is still true to his higher nature; sick and restless, even in the delirium of enjoyment, he... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 1:13-22

IV.THE SHADOW OF GOD’S HANDJob 1:13-22COMING now to the sudden and terrible changes which are to prove the faithfulness of the servant of God, we must not fail to observe that in the development of the drama the trial of Job personally is the sole consideration. No account is taken of the character of those who, being connected with his fortunes and happiness, are now to be swept away that he may suffer. To trace their history and vindicate Divine righteousness in reference to each of them is... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 1:6-22

II. THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN JEHOVAH AND SATAN AND THE RESULTS CHAPTER 1:6-22 1. A scene in heaven, Jehovah’s challenge and Satan’s, accusation (Job 1:6-12 ) 2. Satan’s power manifested (Job 1:13-19 ) 3. Job’s great grief and great victory (Job 1:20-22 ) Job 1:6-12 . Suddenly the scene changeth. We are no longer on earth but heaven is opened and we read what is going on before the throne of God. While Job on earth with his loved ones is enjoying himself something takes place in heaven in... read more
