Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Job 32:1-6.


Job 32:2

_ _ Elihu — meaning “God is Jehovah.” In his name and character as messenger between God and Job, he foreshadows Jesus Christ (Job 33:23-26).

_ _ Barachel — meaning “God blesses.” Both names indicate the piety of the family and their separation from idolaters.

_ _ Buzite — Buz was son of Nahor, brother of Abraham. Hence was named a region in Arabia-Deserta (Jeremiah 25:23).

_ _ Ram — Aram, nephew of Buz. Job was probably of an older generation than Elihu. However, the identity of names does not necessarily prove the identity of persons. The particularity with which Elihu’s descent is given, as contrasted with the others, led Lightfoot to infer Elihu was the author of the book. But the reason for particularity was, probably, that Elihu was less known than the three called “friends” of Job; and that it was right for the poet to mark especially him who was mainly to solve the problem of the book.

_ _ rather than God — that is, was more eager to vindicate himself than God. In Job 4:17, Job denies that man can be more just than God. Umbreit translates, “Before (in the presence of) God.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 32:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 32:2

The Buzite — Of the posterity of Buz, Nahor's son, Genesis 22:21. Ram — Or, of Aram; for Ram and Aram are used promiscuously; compare 2 Kings 8:28; 2 Chronicles 22:5. His pedigree is thus particularly described, partly for his honour, as being both a wise and good man, and principally to evidence the truth of this history. He justified — Himself not without reflection upon God, as dealing severely with him, he took more care to maintain his own innocency, than God's glory. The word Elihu signifies, my God is he. They had all tried in vain to convince Job: but my God is he who both can and will do it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 32:2

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the (a) Buzite, of the kindred of (b) Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself (c) rather than God.

(a) Which came from Buz, the son of Nahor, Abraham's brother.

(b) Or, as the Chaldee translation reads, Abram.

(c) By making himself innocent, and by charging God of rigour.
