Job 29:10

Margin, "voice—hid," that is, "hushed" (Ezekiel 3:26).

Tongue cleaved, etc.—that is, awed by my presence, the emirs or sheiks were silent.



Job 29:7-10

The great influence Job had over young and old, and noblemen.

through . . . street!—rather, When I went out of my house, in the country (see Job 1:1, prologue) to the gate (ascending), up to the city (which was on elevated ground), and when I prepared my (judicial) seat in the market place. The market place was the place of judgment, at the gate or propylæa of the city, such as is found in the remains of Nineveh and Persepolis (Isaiah 59:14; Psalms 55:11; Psalms 127:5).
