Job 38:20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

That thou shouldest take it That is, bring, or lead it, namely, principally the light, and secondarily the darkness, as the consequent of it, to the bound thereof? That is, through its whole course, from the place of its abode, whence it is supposed to come, to the end of the journey which it is to go. Didst thou direct or guide the light, or the sun, that it should at first take, and afterward constantly continue in that course which now it holds; that it should go from east to west, and rise, sometimes in one point or part of heaven, and sometimes in another; and that its day's journey should be longer in one season of the year and shorter in another? This regular and excellent course must needs be the effect of great wisdom. And whose wisdom was it? Thine or mine? And that thou shouldest know Namely, practically so as to direct or lead it in the manner now expressed, the paths to the house thereof? Where thou mayest find it, and whence thou mayest fetch it.
