Giobbe 38:29

Listen to Giobbe 38:29
29 Del cui ventre è uscito il ghiaccio, E chi ha generata la brina del cielo?

Giobbe 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 ) .

Giobbe 38:29 In-Context

27 Per satollare il luogo desolato e deserto; E per farvi germogliar l’erba pullulante?
28 La pioggia ha ella un padre? Ovvero, chi ha generate le stille della rugiada?
29 Del cui ventre è uscito il ghiaccio, E chi ha generata la brina del cielo?
30 Chi fa che le acque si nascondano, e divengano come una pietra; E che la superficie dell’abisso si rapprenda?
31 Puoi tu legare le delizie delle Gallinelle, Ovvero sciogliere le attrazioni dell’Orione?
