Commentary on Job 1:7

Theological / Devotional

Going to and fro. Heb. shut, “to go about” or “to rove about.” For example, the word is used to describe the search for manna (Num. 11:8), the taking of a census (2 Sam. 24:2), and the search for a good man (Jer. 5:1).

Walking up and down. Compare the expression, “Your adversary the devil . . . walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
