Job 38:6
_ _ foundations — not “sockets,” as Margin.
_ _ fastened — literally, “made to sink,” as a foundation-stone let down till it settles firmly in the clay (Job 26:7). Gravitation makes and keeps the earth a sphere. |
Job 38:6
Foundations — This strong and durable building hath no foundations but God's power, which hath marvelously established it upon itself. Cornerstone — By which the several walls are joined and fastened together, and in which, next to the foundations, the stability of a building consists. The sense is, who was it that built this goodly fabrick, and established it so firmly that it cannot be moved. |
