Job 19:24
_ _ pen — graver.
_ _ lead — poured into the engraven characters, to make them better seen [Umbreit]. Not on leaden plates; for it was “in the rock” that they were engraved. Perhaps it was the hammer that was of “lead,” as sculptors find more delicate incisions are made by it, than by a harder hammer. Foster (One Primeval Language) has shown that the inscriptions on the rocks in Wady-Mokatta, along Israel’s route through the desert, record the journeys of that people, as Cosmas Indicopleustes asserted, a.d. 535.
_ _ for ever — as long as the rock lasts. |
Job 19:24
Lead — Anciently they used to grave the letters in a stone with an iron tool, and then to fill up the cuts with lead, that the words might be more plainly seen. |
Job 19:24
That they were graven with (p) an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
(p) He protests that despite his sore passions his religion is perfect and that he in not a blasphemer as they judged him. |
