Chapter 2 – FAMILIA MUNDIAL
1 [4] Skin for skin: an expression which, as applied to Job, means that he has borne his suffering patiently thus far only because he seeks to avoid greater suffering and to receive greater favors from God.
2 [9] Curse God and die: you have nothing to hope for from God and therefore nothing to live for.
3 [11] The names of Job’s friends suggest Edomite origin. The Edomites (⇒ Obadiah 1:8-9) and more specifically the Temanites (⇒ Jeremiah 49:7) enjoyed a reputation for wisdom.
