Job 39:10

10 Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow [with] his thick band? Doth he harrow valleys after thee?

Job 39:10 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:10

Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow?
&c.] Put the yoke and harness upon him, and fasten it to the plough to draw it, that he may make furrows with it in the field, or plough up the ground as the tame ox does? thou canst not;

or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
draw the harrow which is used after ploughing to break the clods, and make the land smooth and even? he will not: valleys are particularly mentioned, because arable land is usually in them; see ( Psalms 65:13 ) .
