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 Job.
Seven - (see 'Introduction'). The number offered by the Gentile prophet Balaam (Numbers 23:1). Job plainly lived before the legal priesthood and Mosaic ritual. The patriarchs acted as priests for their families, and sometimes as praying mediators (Genesis 20:17), thus foreshadowing the true Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5): but sacrifice accompanies, and is the groundwork on which the mediation rests.
Him - rather, 'His person (face) only' х kiy (H3588) 'im (H518) paanaayw (H6440)] (note, Job 22:30). The 'person' must be first accepted before God can accept his offering and work (Genesis 4:4, "The Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering"); that can only be through Jesus Christ.
