Job 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 ) .

Job 38:29 In-Context

27 Pour abreuver des lieux déserts et désolés, et faire germer et sortir l'herbe?
28 La pluie a-t-elle un père? Ou, qui enfante les gouttes de rosée?
29 De quel sein est sortie la glace? Et qui enfante le givre du ciel?
30 Les eaux se dissimulent, changées en pierre, et la surface de l'abîme se prend.
31 Peux-tu resserrer les liens des Pléiades, ou détacher les chaînes d'Orion?
