Giobbe 38:38

38 allorché la polvere stemperata diventa come una massa in fusione e le zolle de’ campi si saldan fra loro?

Giobbe 38:38 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:38

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast
together?
] When the dust is attenuated, and ground, as it were, into powder; and the clods cleave together, as if glued, as in a drought for want of rain: or the bottles of heaven being unstopped and poured out; or

``sprinkling the dust with this sprinkling,''

as Mr. Broughton. Or rather, pouring on the dust with pouring; that is, pouring down rain, by unstopping the bottles of heaven. The dust, as meal, by water poured into it, cements, unites, and is compacted, and becomes earth, that may be cultivated; is clodded and cleaves together, and may be ploughed and sown.

Giobbe 38:38 In-Context

36 Chi ha messo negli strati delle nubi sapienza, o chi ha dato intelletto alla meteora?

37 Chi conta con sapienza le nubi? e gli otri del cielo chi li versa

38 allorché la polvere stemperata diventa come una massa in fusione e le zolle de’ campi si saldan fra loro?

39 Sei tu che cacci la preda per la leonessa, che sazi la fame de’ leoncelli

40 quando si appiattano nelle tane e si mettono in agguato nella macchia?
