Job 3:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

Seize upon it - as its prey; i:e., utterly dissolve it.

Joined onto the days of the year - rather, by poetic personification, 'Let it not rejoice [yichal] in the circle of days and nights, and months, which form the circle of years.'

Job 3:6

6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
