Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:10 — KJV
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.
