Commentary on Job 39:6

Theological / Devotional

Barren land. Hebrew melechah, literally, “saltness,” “barrenness,” here referring to the salt plains. Melechah is translated “salt land” in Jeremiah 17:6. God created the wild ass so that it might dwell comfortably in arid, treeless wastes where man and his domesticated animals could scarcely survive.
