Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 22 Heb “and he does not see.” The implied object is “us.”
  2. 23 The word is “circle; dome”; here it is the dome that covers the earth, beyond which God sits enthroned. A. B. Davidson (Job, 165) suggests “on the arch of heaven” that covers the earth.
  3. 24 The idea suggested here is that God is not only far off, but he is unconcerned as he strolls around heaven—this is what Eliphaz says Job means.
