Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

Now in ver. N Jot turns towards th.- friends. He who comes forth on his side as his advocate, will make Himself felt by them to be a judge, if they continue to p.:te the suffering servant of God (comp. ok xiii. 10-12). It is not to be translated: for then ye will say, or: forsooth then will ye mj. This would be neWl m <0, and certainly imply that the opponents w,K Hence just the same theophany, that therefore it will be on the earth. Oehler (in his Veteris Test, sententia de rebus post mortem futuris, 1846) maintains this instance against the interpretation of this confession of Job of a future beholding; it has, however, no place in the text, and Oehler rightly gives no decisive conclusion.1 For ver. 28, as is rightly observed by C. W. G. Kostlin (in his Essay, de immortalitatis spe, qua in I. Iobi apparere dicitur, 1846) against Oehler, and is even explained by Oetinger, is the antecedent to ver. 29 (comp. ch. xxi. 28 sq.): if ye say: how, i* under what pretence of right, shall we prosecute him (tnrna, prop, pursue him, comp. Judg. vii. 25), and (so that) the root of the matter (treated of) is found in me ('?, lot 13, since the oratio directa, as in ch. xxii. 17, passes into be oratio obliqua, Ew. § 338, a); in other words: if ye coninue to seek the cause of my suffering in my guilt, fear ye he sword, i.e. God's sword of vengeance (as ch. xv. 22, and >erhaps as Isa. xxxi. 8: a sword, without the art. in order to ombine the idea of what is boundless, endless, and terrific nth the indefinite— the indetermination ad amplificandum lescnbed on Ps. ii. 12).

The speech of Job, now explained, most clearly shows us o\\ Job's affliction, interpreted by the friends as a divine etribution, becomes for Job's nature a wholesome refining rucible. AVe see also from this speech of Job, that he can nly regard his affliction as a kindling of divine wrath, and Jod's meeting him as an enemy (ch. xix. 11). But the more ecidediy the friends affirm this, and describe the root of the unjust, he cannot in itself cling. Be ii - i much the leu able to Jo this, as he is compelled the more earneetlj to long for vindication, the m afidentlj be b aocu

And after his skin, in such a manner destroyed, and free from his flesh, which is even now already so fallen in that the bones may be seen through it (ch. xix. 20), he will behold Eloah; and he who, according to human judgment, has died the death of the unrighteous, shall behold Eloah on his side, his eyes shall see and not a

If we place oursehrea on the standpoint of the poet, be certainlv here rives utterance to a i 0, to which, as the book of Proverbs also shows, the Salomonic Chokma began to rise in the course of believing thought j but also on the part of the Chokma, this confession was primarily only a tJtsologoumenon, and was first in the course of centuries made sure under the combined agency of the progressive perception of the revelation and facts connected with redemption; and it is first of all in the New Testament, by the descent to Hades and the ascension to heaven of the Prince of Life, that it became a fully decided and well-defined element of the church's creed. If, however, we place ourselves on the

HTectiun. When Job says that with his own ejes he shall behold doah, it is indee 1 possible by these eyes to understand the eyes of the spirit; 2 but it is just as possible to understand him to mean the eyes of his renewed body (which the old theologians describe as stola secunda, in distinction from the stola prima of the intermediate state); and when Job thinks of him-

1 The view of Bottcher, de infer is, p. 149, is false, that the poet by the conclusion of his book disapproves the hope expressed, as dementis somnium.

2 Job's wish, ch. xix. 23 sq., is accomplished, as e.g. James v. 11 shows, and his hope is realized, since he has beheld God the Redeemer enter Hades, and is by Him led up on high to behold God in heaven. We

3, 25), the privilege of this prospect, is denied. This thought, that the enjoyment aimed at and anticipated shall not follow the attainment of this height of prosperity, is reiterated in a twofold form in ver. 18.

Ver. 18a is not to be translated: He gives back that which he has gained without swallowing it down, which must have been 3fl£; the syntactic relation is a different one: the ]\\iw of ti7\ is not expressive of detail; the detailing is implied in the partic, which is made prominent as an antecedent, as if it were: because, or since, he gives out again that which he has acquired (J^ only here instead of JV, ch. x. 3 and freq.), he has no pleasure in it, he shall or may not altogether swallow it dow7n (Targ. incorrectly IDVK^I, after the Arabic ijj, to penetrate, attain an object). The formation of the clause corresponds entirely with ver. 18b. All attempts at interpretation which connect irrviDn Tra with y&o, ver. 18a, are to be objected to: (he gives it back again) as tl ^ness.oanii in a rescue with his dearest object, the obj., as ch. xvi. 4, 10, xxxi. 12, conceived of as the instrument (vlcL e.g. Schlottm.). The former explanation is more natural and simple.
