Job 1:3
_ _ she-asses — prized on account of their milk, and for riding (Judges 5:10). Houses and lands are not mentioned among the emir’s wealth, as nomadic tribes dwell in movable tents and live chiefly by pasture, the right to the soil not being appropriated by individuals. The “five hundred yoke of oxen” imply, however, that Job tilled the soil. He seems also to have had a dwelling in a town, in which respect he differed from the patriarchs. Camels are well called “ships of the desert,” especially valuable for caravans, as being able to lay in a store of water that suffices them for days, and to sustain life on a very few thistles or thorns.
_ _ household — (Genesis 26:14). The other rendering which the Hebrew admits, “husbandry,” is not so probable.
_ _ men of the east — denoting in Scripture those living east of Palestine; as the people of North Arabia-Deserta (Judges 6:3; Ezekiel 25:4). |
Job 1:3
Camels — Camels in these parts were very numerous, and very useful, both for carrying burdens in these hot and dry countries, as being able to endure thirst much better than other creatures, and for service in war. Asses — He — asses also may be included in this expression, because the greatest part of them (from which the denomination is usually taken) were she asses. The greatest — That lived in those parts. The account of his piety and prosperity comes before the account of his afflictions, to shew that neither of these will secure us from the common, no, nor from the uncommon calamities of human life. |
Job 1:3
His (d) substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of (e) the east.
(d) His children and riches are declared, to commend his virtue in his prosperity and his patience and constancy when God took them from him.
