Jó 38:38

38 quando se funde o pó em massa, e se pegam os torrões uns aos outros?

Jó 38:38 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:38

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast
together?
] When the dust is attenuated, and ground, as it were, into powder; and the clods cleave together, as if glued, as in a drought for want of rain: or the bottles of heaven being unstopped and poured out; or

``sprinkling the dust with this sprinkling,''

as Mr. Broughton. Or rather, pouring on the dust with pouring; that is, pouring down rain, by unstopping the bottles of heaven. The dust, as meal, by water poured into it, cements, unites, and is compacted, and becomes earth, that may be cultivated; is clodded and cleaves together, and may be ploughed and sown.

Jó 38:38 In-Context

36 Quem pôs sabedoria nas densas nuvens, ou quem deu entendimento ao meteoro?

37 Quem numerará as nuvens pela sabedoria? Ou os odres do céu, quem os esvaziará,

38 quando se funde o pó em massa, e se pegam os torrões uns aos outros?

39 Podes caçar presa para a leoa, ou satisfazer a fome dos filhos dos leões,

40 quando se agacham nos covis, e estão � espreita nas covas?
