“There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.”
That is, of the country of Idumea, as Lam. 4:21 , or bordering thereupon: for the land was called by the name of Uz, the son of Dishan the son of Seir, Gen. 36:28 . Forasmuch as he was a Gentile, and not a Jew, and yet is pronounced upright, and without hypocrisy, it declareth that among the heathen God hath his. Hereby is declared, what is meant by an upright and just man.
