Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 15:19

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

19. Eliphaz speaks like a genuine Arab when he boasts that his ancestors had ever possessed the land unmixed with foreigners [UMBREIT]. His words are intended to oppose Job's ( :- ); "the earth" in their case was not "given into the hand of the wicked." He refers to the division of the earth by divine appointment ( Genesis 10:5 ; Genesis 25:32 ). Also he may insinuate that Job's sentiments had been corrupted from original purity by his vicinity to the Sabeans and Chaldeans [ROSENMULLER]. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-20" class="com-number"
