Commentary on Job 8:17

Theological / Devotional

The heap. Heb. gal. Here probably a heap of stones (see Joshua 7:26; 8:29, where the word occurs with “stones”). Seeth the place of stones. The LXX reads, “shall live among the flints.” The picture is probably that of the creeping plant fastening its tendrils, like ivy, to the rocks and seeming to grow from the stones themselves.
