Commentary

Commentary on Job 1:10

Theological / Devotional

About his house. Satan mentions three items that are protectively hedged in: Job himself, his house, and his possessions. Misfortune struck, first his possessions (vs. 15-17), then his house (vs. 18, 19), and finally Job himself (ch. 2:7, 8).

Substance. Heb. miqneh. See on v. 3.

Increased. Heb. paras, “to break through,” “to burst out.” Paras is used in the expression “thy presses shall burst out with new wine” (Prov. 3:10). Job’s prosperity was phenomenal.
