Job 2
1. Satan, appearing again before God, obtains further leave to tempt Job.
7. He afflicts him with sore boils.
9. Job reproves his wife, who moved him to curse God.
11. His three friends console with him in silence.














On another day
This phrase indicates a continuation of the narrative, suggesting a cyclical or ongoing nature of the events in the heavenly realm. The Hebrew word for "day" is "yom," which can mean a literal day or a period of time. In the context of Job, it emphasizes the ongoing spiritual battle and the testing of Job's faith. It reminds us that spiritual challenges can be recurrent, and our faith is tested over time.

the sons of God
This term refers to angelic beings who are in the presence of God. The Hebrew phrase "bene ha-Elohim" is used here, which is often interpreted as divine beings or angels. This highlights the reality of a spiritual realm that operates alongside the physical world. It underscores the belief in a structured heavenly order where these beings serve God and carry out His will.

came to present themselves
The phrase suggests a formal gathering or assembly before God, indicating accountability and order in the heavenly realm. The Hebrew root "yatsab" implies standing or taking a position, which conveys the idea of presenting oneself for duty or reporting. This reflects the concept of divine order and the accountability of all creation to the Creator.

before the LORD
The use of "LORD" in all caps signifies the Hebrew name "Yahweh," the covenant name of God. This emphasizes the personal and relational aspect of God with His creation. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His intimate involvement in the affairs of the world. The presence of the "sons of God" before Yahweh highlights His supreme authority over all spiritual beings.

and Satan also came with them
The inclusion of Satan, or "ha-Satan" in Hebrew, meaning "the accuser" or "adversary," indicates his role in the heavenly court. This phrase underscores the reality of evil and opposition within the spiritual realm. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing spiritual warfare and the presence of an adversary who seeks to challenge and undermine God's purposes.

to present himself before the LORD
This repetition of the phrase emphasizes the formal and obligatory nature of Satan's appearance before God. Despite his role as an adversary, Satan is still subject to God's authority and must present himself in the divine council. This highlights the ultimate sovereignty of God over all creation, including those who oppose Him. It reassures believers of God's control and the assurance that evil is not beyond His reach or authority.

II.

(1) And Satan came also.--See Job 1:7. St. Peter applies to Satan the verb from which we have peripatetic.

Verses 1-13. - This chapter concludes the "Introductory section." It consists of three parts. Vers. 1-6 contain an account of Satan's second appearance in the courts of heaven, and of a second colloquy between him and the Almighty. Vers. 7-10 contain the sequel to this colloquy, viz. Satan's further affliction of Job, and his conduct under it. Vers. 11-13 contain an account of the arrival of Job's three special friends to mourn with him and to comfort him; and of their behavior during the first seven days after their arrival Verse 1. - Again there was a day when the sons of God same to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. There is no "again" in the original. The words used are an exact repetition of those contained in ver. 6 of ch. 1. But they mark, no doubt, a second occasion on which the angelic host came to present themselves before the throne of God, and Satan came with them. To present himself before the Lord. These words are additional to those used in the former passage. We may gather from them, that, whereas on the former occasion Satan came only to observe, and with no intention of drawing God's special attention to himself, he now had such intention, and looked forward to a colloquy. He anticipated, doubtless, that the circumstances of Job's probation would be referred to, and he had prepared himself to make answer.
