Job 42:8
_ _ seven — (See on Introduction). The number offered by the Gentile prophet (Numbers 23:1). Job plainly lived before the legal priesthood, etc. The patriarchs acted as priests for their families; and sometimes as praying mediators (Genesis 20:17), thus foreshadowing the true Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5), but sacrifice accompanies and is the groundwork on which the mediation rests.
_ _ him — rather, “His person [face] only” (see on Job 22:30). The “person,” must be first accepted, before God can accept his offering and work (Genesis 4:4); that can be only through Jesus Christ.
_ _ folly — impiety (Job 1:22; Job 2:10). |
Job 42:8
My servant — Whom though you condemned as an hypocrite, I own for my faithful servant. Offer — By the hand of Job, whom I hereby constitute your priest to pray and sacrifice for you. Lest I deal — Lest my just judgment take hold of you for your false and foolish speeches. |
Job 42:8
Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall (h) pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job.
(h) When you have reconciled yourselves to him for the faults that you have committed against him, he will pray for you, and I will hear him. |

- From this it appears that Job was considered as a priest, not only to his own family, but also to others. For his children he offered burnt offerings (
Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of [their] feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings [according] to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
), and now he is to make the same kind of offerings, accompanied with intercession, in behalf of his three friends. This is a full proof of the innocence and integrity of Job.
