Job 39:4

4 separantur filii earum pergunt ad pastum egrediuntur et non revertuntur ad eas

Job 39:4 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:4

Their young ones are in good liking
Plump, fat, and sleek, as fawns are:

they grow up with corn;
by which they grow, or without in the field, as the word also signifies; and their growth and increase is very quick, as Aristotle observes F12;

they go forth, and return not unto them:
they go forth into the fields, and shift and provide for themselves, and trouble their dams no more; and return not to them, nor are they known by them.

Job 39:4 In-Context

2 dinumerasti menses conceptus earum et scisti tempus partus earum
3 incurvantur ad fetum et pariunt et rugitus emittunt
4 separantur filii earum pergunt ad pastum egrediuntur et non revertuntur ad eas
5 quis dimisit onagrum liberum et vincula eius quis solvit
6 cui dedi in solitudine domum et tabernacula eius in terra salsuginis
