Job 1:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

His substance is increased - literally, his cattle break forth and spread out like a flood: Job's herds covered the face of the country [Hebrew, paarats (H6555)]: (cf. Genesis 30:30, margin, and Genesis 43:1-34; Isaiah 64:3).
