Job 2:1

1 Y otro día aconteció que vinieron los hijos de Dios para presentarse delante del SEÑOR, y vino también entre ellos Satanás compareciendo delante del SEÑOR

Job 2:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 2:1

Again, there was a day, when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the Lord
When good men, professors of religion, met together by agreement to worship the Lord; the Targum calls them companies of angels, interpreting the words of them, and of their standing before the Lord, as most interpreters do; how long this time of their meeting was from the former cannot be said, probably but a few days, a week or fortnight at most; the Targum says, it was on the day of the great judgment, and which, as in ( Job 1:6 ) ; was at the beginning of the year; so that according to this, and other Jewish writers, there was a whole year between this and the former meeting, and so between the first and second trial of Job; but this is not likely, since Satan would never give him so much breathing time; nor can it be thought that Job's friends should stay so long before they paid him a visit, which was not till after this day:

and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord;
being either obliged to it upon a summons to appear before God, and give an account of what he had been doing on the earth, and especially to Job; or rather he came willingly, seeking an opportunity to continue his charge against Job, and to accuse him afresh, and get his commission enlarged to do him more mischief, which he could not do without a fresh grant.

Job 2:1 In-Context

1 Y otro día aconteció que vinieron los hijos de Dios para presentarse delante del SEÑOR, y vino también entre ellos Satanás compareciendo delante del SEÑOR

2 Y dijo el SEÑOR a Satanás: ¿De dónde vienes? Respondió Satanás al SEÑOR, y dijo: De rodear la tierra, y de andar por ella

3 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Satanás: ¿No has considerado a mi siervo Job, que no hay otro como él en la tierra, varón perfecto y recto, temeroso de Dios y apartado de mal, y que aún retiene su perfección, habiéndome tú incitado contra él, para que lo arruinara sin causa

4 Y respondiendo Satanás dijo al SEÑOR: Piel por piel, todo lo que el hombre tiene dará por su alma

5 Mas extiende ahora tu mano, y tócalo a él mismo, y a su carne, y verás si no te blasfema en tu rostro
