Barnes' Notes
Again there was a day ... - See the notes at Job 1:6. These seasons are represented as periodical, when the angels came, as it were, to make report to God of what they had observed and done. The Chaldee renders this, "And there was a day of the great judgment ( yôm dı̂ynā' rābā' ), a day of the remission of sins ( ) and there came bands ( ) of angels."
To present himself before the Lord - This does not occur in the former statement in Job 1:6. It here means that he came before the Lord after he had had permission to afflict; Job. The Chaldee renders it "that he might stand in judgment dı̂yn before the Lord."
