(8) Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Jobadiah (9) So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Jobadiah
Reader, observe into what an high rank Job is exalted. He is to be an intercessor at the sacrifice. But how an intercessor, unless as Aaron had been, as a type of the ever-blessed JESUS? For there is but one Mediator between GOD and men, the man CHRIST JESUS. 1 Timothy 2:5. And Reader, do not overlook how very strikingly in this instance Job typified the LORD JESUS; for as the LORD had long hid his face, as it were, from Job, so the LORD JESUS was under the hidings of the FATHER, when, in the days of his flesh, on the cross he cried out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Matthew 27:46.
