Job 18:19

19 non erit semen eius neque progenies in populo suo nec ullae reliquiae in regionibus eius

Job 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Job 18:19

He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people
Neither son, nor son's son, or grandson; so the Targum, Jarchi, and Bar Tzemach; that is, he shall be childless, and have no heirs, successors, or survivors, to inherit his estate, bear and perpetuate his name among the people of his country, city, or neighbourhood. Bildad respects no doubt the present case of Job, who had lost all his children; but he was mistaken if he thought he should die so, for he had after this as many children as he had before:

nor any remaining in his dwellings;
being all dead, or fled from them, through the terror, desolation, and destruction in them. Aben Ezra and Bar Tzemach interpret them places in which he was a sojourner or stranger; and Mr. Broughton, nor remnant in his pilgrimage.

Job 18:19 In-Context

17 memoria illius pereat de terra et non celebretur nomen eius in plateis
18 expellet eum de luce in tenebras et de orbe transferet eum
19 non erit semen eius neque progenies in populo suo nec ullae reliquiae in regionibus eius
20 in die eius stupebunt novissimi et primos invadet horror
21 haec sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui et iste locus eius qui ignorat Deum
