Commentary on Job 38:36

Theological / Devotional

Inward parts. This text is perfectly plain as it reads, but the difficulty of accounting for a sudden transition from clouds and celestial phenomena in vs. 34, 35 to man and then back to clouds in v. 37 has led many to attempt to discover other meanings for the Hebrew words translated “inward parts” and “heart.” The RSV renders them “clouds” and “mists.” These definitions are only conjectural.
