Treasury of Scripture Elihu also proceeded, and said, Jump to Previous Addeth Continued Elihu Eli'hu ProceededJump to Next Addeth Continued Elihu Eli'hu ProceededJob 36 1. Elihu shows how God is just in his ways16. How Job's sins hinder God's blessings 24. God's works are to be magnified And Elihu The name "Elihu" means "He is my God" in Hebrew, which is significant in understanding his role in the narrative. Elihu is a younger man who steps into the dialogue between Job and his three friends. His name itself suggests a divine purpose or calling, indicating that his words are meant to reflect a deeper understanding of God's nature. In the context of the Book of Job, Elihu serves as a bridge between the human reasoning of Job's friends and the divine revelation that follows. His presence reminds us that God can use anyone, regardless of age or status, to convey His truth. continued saying (1) Elihu also proceeded.--It is not easy to acquit Elihu of some of the "arrogance" he was so ready to ascribe to Job. He professes very great zeal for God, but it is hard to see that some of his great professions are warranted. For instance, he says-- Verses 1-33. - The two chapters, ch. 36. and 37, form a single discourse, and ought not to have been separated; or, at any rate, not so unskilfully as they are, in the middle of a description of a thunderstorm. They constitute a final appeal to Job, who is exhorted to submission, resignation, and patience, in consideration of God's inscrutability, and of his perfect justice, wisdom, and strength. Ch. 36 begins with a short preface (vers. 1-4), in which Elihu seeks to prove his right to offer counsel to Job, after which God's justice is demonstrated (vers. 5-16), and Job warned that his petulance may lead to his complete destruction (vers. 17-25). Finally, in illustration of God's might and unsearchableness' the description of a thunderstorm is commenced (vers. 26-33), which is carried on into the next chapter. Verses 1, 2. - Elihu also proceeded, and said, Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf; literally, that there are yet words for God. The controversy, i.e., is not exhausted; there is yet much that may be urged on God's behalf, in respect of the charges thou hast made against him.Parallel Commentaries ...
