Job 39:8 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:8

The range of the mountains [is] his pasture
It ranges about the mountains for food; it looks about for it, as the word signifies, and tries first one place and then another to get some, it having short commons there;

and he searcheth after every green thing;
herb or plant, be it what it will that is green, it seeks after; and which being scarce in deserts and mountains, it searches about for and feeds upon it, wherever it can find it; grass being the peculiar food of these creatures, see ( Job 6:5 ) ; and which is observed by naturalists F24.

Job 39:8 In-Context

6 J'ai fait du désert son habitation, De la terre salée sa demeure.
7 Il se rit du tumulte des villes, Il n'entend pas les cris d'un maître.
8 Il parcourt les montagnes pour trouver sa pâture, Il est à la recherche de tout ce qui est vert.
9 Le buffle veut-il être à ton service? Passe-t-il la nuit vers ta crèche?
10 L'attaches-tu par une corde pour qu'il trace un sillon? Va-t-il après toi briser les mottes des vallées?
