Job 10:12

"You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews."

Key Reflection

In Job 10:12, God describes the creation of humanity through physical means—clothing Job with skin and flesh and knitting him together with bones and sinews. This verse underscores the temporary and fragile nature of the physical body in contrast to the eternal life God offers.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Thy visitation hath preserved my spirit -Thy constant care; thy watchful providence; thy superintendence. The word rendered visitation (פקדהpeqûddâh) means properly the mustering of an army, the care that is manifested in looking after those who are enlisted; and then denotes care, vigilance, providence, custody, watch. The idea is, that God had watched over him and preserved him, and that to his constant vigilance he owed the preservation of his life.
