Commentary on Job 31:26

Theological / Devotional

Beheld the sun. A specific reference to idolatry. Sun worship was widespread in the East, and dominant in Egypt from a very early date. Worship of the moon was usually secondary to sun worship. There seemed to be a natural tendency to worship that which provided light (see Deut. 4:19; 2 Kings 23:5; Eze. 8:16).
