**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .

**Who is he . . . ?** Supply the obvious *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ) thus: "[Thou askedst] 'Who is this? ' "&c.; which Jehovah did ask in [Job 38:1-3](../../../kjv/job/38/1-3) .

**Hear** = Hear, now.
**I will demand of thee.** Supply the *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ): "[Thou saidst]; ' Let him answer Me' "(See [Job 40:2](../../../kjv/job/40/2) ).

**I abhor myself, and repent.** "The end of the Lord" (i.e. what Jehovah designed as the great lesson of this book) is at length reached. Compare [James 5:11](../../../kjv/james/5/11) .

**these words:** i.e. ch. [Job 38:1](../../../kjv/job/38/1) -- [Job 41:34](../../../kjv/job/41/34) .
**not spoken of Me the thing that is right.** We have, therefore, an inspired record of what they said; but all they said was not inspired, and cannot be quoted as the Word of Jehovah.
**as My servant Job hath:** i.e. in [Job 42:1-6](../../../kjv/job/42/1-6) .

**seven.** See App-10 .
**burnt offering.** Hebrew. *'olah* . App-43 . See App-15 .
**him** = his face: face being put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of the Part), App-6 , for the whole person.

**Job.** Hebrew the face of Job, as in [Job 42:8](../../../kjv/job/42/8) .

**turned the captivity.** Figure of speech *Paronomasia* ( App-6 ), *shdb eth sh buth,* emphasizing recovery or deliverance from any trouble, as in [Psalms 126:1](../../../kjv/psalms/126/1) , [Psalms 126:4](../../../kjv/psalms/126/4) , &c.
**twice as much.** This blessing was included in "the end of the Lord" ([James 5:11](../../../kjv/james/5/11) ). See note on p. 666.

**evil** = calamity. Hebrew. *ra'a'* . App-44 . Compare [Isaiah 45:7](../../../kjv/isaiah/45/7) .
**every man.** Hebrew. *'ish* . App-14 .
**piece** = weight, as in [Genesis 33:19](../../../kjv/genesis/33/19) . The Septuagint reads "a lamb, and four drachms weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold]"; or, "a piece of gold stamped with a lamb. "
**every one.** Hebrew. *'i* s *h* . App-14 .

**and.** Note the Figure of speech *Polysyndeton* ( App-6 ), in verses: [Job 42:12-15](../../../kjv/job/42/12-15) , to emphasize each particular thing.

**Jemima** = beautiful as the day (Septuagint and Vulgate) or as a dove.
**Kezia** = fragrant as cassia (i.e. cinnamon).
**Keren-happuch** = horn of beauty or plenty. Compare [Job 42:15](../../../kjv/job/42/15) .

**an hundred and forty years:** i.e. from 1656 to 1516.

**full of days** = satisfied with days. The Septuagint has a long subscription, for which see App-62 . The Arabic has a similar subscription, which professes to have been taken from the Syriac, but it is not in the Syriac version as given in Walton's *Polyglot.*
