Jó 38:29

29 Do ventre de quem saiu o gelo? E quem gerou a geada do céu?

Jó 38:29 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:29

Out of whose womb came the ice?
&c.] The parent of the rain and dew is the parent of the ice also, and he only; it is therefore called "his ice", his child, his offspring, ( Psalms 147:17 ) . Here the Lord is represented as a mother, and so he is by Orpheus F2 called "metropator", or "mother-father";

and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
this is of God, and by his breath; see ( Job 37:10 ) .

Jó 38:29 In-Context

27 para fartar a terra deserta e assolada, e para fazer crescer a tenra relva?
28 A chuva porventura tem pai? Ou quem gerou as gotas do orvalho?
29 Do ventre de quem saiu o gelo? E quem gerou a geada do céu?
30 Como pedra as águas se endurecem, e a superfície do abismo se congela.
31 Podes atar as cadeias das Plêiades, ou soltar os atilhos do Oriom?
