Commentary on Job 1:13

Theological / Devotional

There was a day. See on v. 6; cf. ch. 2:1. These three passages, introduced by the same time clause, present the setting for three successive scenes. The first and third of these scenes took place at an unknown site, perhaps in the celestial realm (see on v. 6), the one now under consideration, on earth. The scene opens with one of the customary feasts of Job’s children, this time at the home of the oldest brother. The lives of the children are carefree and happy, the life of Job, tranquil.
