Job 1
1. The holiness, riches, and reverent care of Job for his children.

13. Understanding of the loss of his children and goods, in his mourning Job blesses God.














In all this
This phrase encapsulates the entirety of the preceding events in Job's life, which include the loss of his wealth, servants, and children. The Hebrew word for "all" (כָּל, kol) emphasizes the totality and completeness of Job's trials. Historically, this phrase sets the stage for understanding the magnitude of Job's suffering, which was not just a single event but a series of catastrophic losses. It serves as a reminder of the comprehensive nature of trials that can befall a person, yet also highlights the potential for maintaining faith through them.

Job
The central figure of this narrative, Job is introduced as a man of great faith and integrity. The name "Job" (אִיּוֹב, Iyov) is thought to mean "persecuted" or "hated," which is fitting given the trials he endures. In the historical and scriptural context, Job is often seen as a prototype of the suffering servant, a righteous man who faces immense trials. His account is set in the land of Uz, a place that is not precisely located but is thought to be in the region of Edom or Arabia, suggesting a setting outside of Israel, which broadens the universal application of his story.

did not sin
This phrase highlights Job's moral and spiritual integrity. The Hebrew word for "sin" (חָטָא, chata) means to miss the mark or to err. Despite the overwhelming nature of his suffering, Job maintains his righteousness. This is significant in the scriptural context as it underscores the theme of undeserved suffering and the possibility of remaining faithful to God even when circumstances are dire. It serves as an inspiration for believers to strive for holiness and trust in God's sovereignty, regardless of life's challenges.

or charge God with wrongdoing
Here, the text emphasizes Job's refusal to blame God for his misfortunes. The Hebrew word for "charge" (תָּפַל, tapal) can mean to impute or assign blame. Job's restraint in not accusing God of injustice is a testament to his deep faith and understanding of God's character. In the historical and theological context, this reflects the belief in God's ultimate goodness and justice, even when human understanding is limited. It challenges believers to trust in God's wisdom and timing, recognizing that His ways are higher than ours.

(22) Foolishly.--The same word as at Job 24:12, signifying reproach or guilt. It is a noun derived from the adjective rendered "unsavoury" in Job 6:6.

Verse 22. - In all this Job sinned not. It was only the commencement of the probation; but so far, at any rate, Job had not sinned - he had preserved his integrity, had spoken and done rightly. Nor charged God foolishly; literally, gave not folly to God, which is explained to mean either "did not attribute to God anything inconsistent with wisdom and goodness" (Delitzsch, Merx), or "did not utter any foolishness against God" (Ewald, Dillmann, Cook). The latter is probably the true meaning (comp. Job 6:6; Job 24:12).
