Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 42:11

_ _ It was Job’s complaint in his misery that his “brethren,” were “estranged” from him (Job 19:13); these now return with the return of his prosperity (Proverbs 14:20; Proverbs 19:6, Proverbs 19:7); the true friend loveth at all times (Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24). “Swallow friends leave in the winter and return with the spring” [Henry].

_ _ eat bread — in token of friendship (Psalms 41:9).

_ _ piece of money — Presents are usual in visiting a man of rank in the East, especially after a calamity (2 Chronicles 32:23). Hebrew, kesita. Magee translates “a lamb” (the medium of exchange then before money was used), as it is in Margin of Genesis 33:19; Joshua 24:32. But it is from the Arabic kasat, “weighed out” [Umbreit], not coined; so Genesis 42:35; Genesis 33:19; compare with Genesis 23:15, makes it likely it was equal to four shekels; Hebrew kashat, “pure,” namely, metal. The term, instead of the usual “shekel,” etc., is a mark of antiquity.

_ _ earring — whether for the nose or ear (Genesis 35:4; Isaiah 3:21). Much of the gold in the East, in the absence of banks, is in the shape of ornaments.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 42:10-17.
