Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

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).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 42:7-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

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.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

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.
