Iyov 39:10

10 Canst thou bind the wild ox to the furrow with a rope, or will it behind thee till the amakim (valleys)?

Iyov 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 ) .

Iyov 39:10 In-Context

8 The range of the harim is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9 Will the wild ox be willing to be thy eved, or stay the night by thy evus (animal feeding trough)?
10 Canst thou bind the wild ox to the furrow with a rope, or will it behind thee till the amakim (valleys)?
11 Wilt thou depend on him, because his ko’ach is great, or wilt thou hand over thy heavy work to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring in thy zera (grain), and gather it into thy goren (threshing floor)?
