Commentary on Job 29:7
Theological / DevotionalTo the gate. Job recalls three primary sources of his former happiness: (1) fellowship with God, (2) companionship with his children, (3) respect of his fellow men.
The greatest amount of attention is given in this chapter to the last of these three experiences. The gate was the place where justice was administered and public business carried on. At this place the crowds gathered, and paid respect to Job as a leader among them (see Neh. 8:1, 3, 16).
Seat. A seat would be brought out and prepared where the judges would sit to hear cases and pass judgments.
