I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Job 40, the LORD continued to correct Job. In this chapter, the LORD demonstrates that Job has neither the wisdom nor the power to disannul God's judgment. After his words in the previous two chapters, the LORD challenged Job to continue his contention, instruction, and reproof of God if he was able. But Job admitted that he was vile and had no answer and declined to proceed further (1-5). However, the LORD had more to say to him. And he demanded that Job tell him how Job was going to disannul God's judgment and condemn God so that Job could be righteous (6-8). He first asked Job if he had the power to overcome God (9). Continuing in this vein, he asked Job if he could cover himself with majesty, excellency, glory, and beauty like God. God than challenged Job to use his wrath to abase everyone who was proud, bring them low, and tread down the wicked in their place -- to hide them in the dust of death. If he could do these things, said God, then God would confess that Job could save himself (10-14). To illustrate Job's weakness, the LORD compared him to "behemoth," (literally, "beast") which some translate as the wild ox, the elephant, the rhinoceros, the crocodile, or a mythological creature; but the hippopotamus is perhaps the best translation, based on the description which follows. Its strength is throughout its body, head to tail, and back to belly. It is chief among God's works; and only God who made it can bring a sword of destruction upon it. The mountains pay tribute to it with food. It lies in the shade of the trees and reeds. It is confident that it can drink up the river, even the Jordan river, and devour it with its eyes. And its nose can break through any snare (15-24). [ Sermons: Joseph Pipa 1. Joseph Pipa 2. Various. ] Bile Chronologies -- Genesis to Revelation [Traditional Patriarchal Chronology.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
