Job 38:6

Listen to Job 38:6
6 Sur quoi en a-t-on fait plonger les bases, ou qui en a posé la pierre angulaire,

Job 38:6 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:6

or who laid the corner stone thereof?
which unites, cements, and keeps the fabric together, and is the ornament and beauty of it; but who can tell what that is? Aben Ezra interprets it of the point or centre of the earth.
