Commentary on Job 10:5

Theological / Devotional

As the days of man. Job’s third question: “Is God short-lived, therefore limited in experience and understanding? Does God expect soon to die, and therefore bear down on Job as if time were limited?” As man’s days. Heb. kime geber, “like the days of a strong man.” The parallel expression in the preceding clause is a translation of kime ’enosh, “like the days of mankind.”
