Job 38:6

6 super quo bases illius solidatae sunt aut quis dimisit lapidem angularem eius

Job 38:6 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:6

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?
&c.] Or the pillars of it, as Ben Gersom interprets it; see ( Psalms 75:3 ) ; and which Aben Ezra understands of the mountains: but be they what they may, on what can they be fastened or sunk into, when the earth hangs on nothing, and there is nothing visible to support it, nothing but the mighty hand of God?

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.

5 quis posuit mensuras eius si nosti vel quis tetendit super eam lineam

6 super quo bases illius solidatae sunt aut quis dimisit lapidem angularem eius

7 cum me laudarent simul astra matutina et iubilarent omnes filii Dei

8 quis conclusit ostiis mare quando erumpebat quasi de vulva procedens
