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 Elles se courbent, elles font sortir leurs petits, et se délivrent de leurs douleurs;
7 Leurs petits se fortifient, ils croissent en plein air, ils s'en vont et ne reviennent plus vers elles.
8 Qui a lâché l'onagre en liberté, et qui a délié les liens de cet animal farouche,
9 A qui j'ai donné la steppe pour demeure, et la terre salée pour habitation?
10 Il se rit du bruit de la ville; il n'entend pas les clameurs de l'ânier.
