From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I am clean -I am pure and holy. Without transgression -Job had not used these very expressions, nor had he intended to maintain that he was absolutely free from sin; seeJob 9:20. He had maintained that he was not chargeable with the transgressions of which his three friends maintained that he was guilty, and in doing that he had used strong language, and language which even seemed to imply that he was without transgression; seeJob 9:30;Job 10:7;Job 13:23;Job 16:17. I am innocent -The word used here (חףchaph) is from the verbחפףchophaph- to cover, to protect; and also, as a secondary meaning, from the Arabic, to rub, to wipe off; to wash away; to lave.
