JOB, IN AFFLICTION, BLESSES GOD, &c. (Job 1:13-22)
wine--not specified in Job 1:4. The mirth inspired by the "wine" here contrasts the more sadly with the alarm which interrupted it. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And there was a day - That is, on the day on which the regular turn came for the banquet to be held in the house of the older brother; compare the notes at Job 1:4.
And drinking wine - This circumstance is omitted in Job 1:4. It shows that wine was regarded as an essential part of the banquet, and it was from its use that Job apprehended the unhappy results referred to in Job 1:5. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
13-15 And it came to pass one day, when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother, that a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them, when the Sabeans fell upon them, and carried them away, and smote the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
The principal clause, היּום ויהי, in which the art. of היּום has no more reference to anything preceding than in Job 1:6, is immediately followed by an adverbial clause, which may be expressed by participles, Lat. filiis ejus filiabusque convivantibus. The details which follow are important. Job had celebrated the usual weekly worship early in the morning with his children, and knew that they were met together in the house of his eldest son, with whom the order of mutual entertainment came round again, when the messengers of misfortune began to break in upon him: it is therefore on the very day when, by reason of the sacrifice offered, he was quite sure of Jehovah's favour. The participial construction, the oxen were ploughing (vid., Ges. 134, 2, c), describes the condition which was disturbed by the calamity that befell them. The verb היוּ stands here because the clause is a principal one, not as Job 1:13, adverbial. על־ידי, properly "at hand," losing its radical meaning, signifies (as Jdg 11:26) "close by." The interpretation "in their places," after Num 2:17, is untenable, as this signification of יד is only supported in the sing. שׁבא is construed as fem., since the name of the country is used as the name of the people. In Genesis three races of this name are mentioned: Cushite (Gen 10:7), Joktanish (Gen 10:28), and Abrahamic (Gen 25:3). Here the nomadic portion of this mixed race in North Arabia from the Persian Gulf to Idumaea is intended. Luther, for the sake of clearness, translates here, and Kg1 10:1, Arabia. In ואמּלטה, the waw, as is seen from the Kametz, is waw convertens, and the paragogic ah, which otherwise indicates the cohortative, is either without significance, or simply adds intensity to the verbal idea: I have saved myself with great difficulty. For this common form of the 1 fut. consec., occurring four times in the Pentateuch, vid., Ges. 49, 2. The clause לך להגּיד is objective: in order that - so it was intended by the calamity - I might tell thee. |

| There was a day - The first day of the week, says the Targum. It no doubt refers to one of those birthday festivals mentioned before. |

16 While he was yet speaking [01696], there came [0935] also another, and said [0559], The fire [0784] of God [0430] is fallen [05307] from heaven [08064], and hath burned up [01197] the sheep [06629], and the servants [05288], and consumed [0398] them; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee.
17 While he was yet speaking [01696], there came [0935] also another, and said [0559], The Chaldeans [03778] made out [07760] three [07969] bands [07218], and fell [06584] upon the camels [01581], and have carried them away [03947], yea, and slain [05221] the servants [05288] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee.

20 Then Job [0347] arose [06965], and rent [07167] his mantle [04598], and shaved [01494] his head [07218], and fell down [05307] upon the ground [0776], and worshipped [07812],

22 In all this Job [0347] sinned [02398] not, nor charged [05414] God [0430] foolishly [08604].
5 And it was so, when the days [03117] of their feasting [04960] were gone about [05362], that Job [0347] sent [07971] and sanctified [06942] them, and rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] according to the number [04557] of them all: for Job [0347] said [0559], It may be [0194] that my sons [01121] have sinned [02398], and cursed [01288] God [0430] in their hearts [03824].
