Contextual Overview
1 "Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you seen deer in labor? 2 Can you tell how many months they carry their young? Do you know when they give birth, 3 when they crouch down and bring forth their young, when they deliver their fawns? 4 Their young become strong, growing up in the open; they leave and never return. 5 "Who lets the wild donkey roam freely? Who sets the wild donkey loose from its shackles? 6 I made the ‘Aravah its home, the salty desert its place to live. 7 It scorns the noise of the city and hears no driver's shouts. 8 It ranges over the hills for its pasture, searching for anything green. 9 "Would a wild ox be willing to serve you? Would it stay by your stall? 10 Could you tie a rope around its neck and make it plow furrows for you?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The range of the mountains [is] his pasture,.... It ranges about the mountains for food; it looks about for it, as the word signifies, and tries first one place and then another to get some, it having short commons there;
and he searcheth after every green thing; herb or plant, be it what it will that is green, it seeks after; and which being scarce in deserts and mountains, it searches about for and feeds upon it, wherever it can find it; grass being the peculiar food of these creatures, see Job 6:5; and which is observed by naturalists x.
x Oppiani Cyneget. l. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The range of the mountains is his pasture - The word rendered ârangeâ ×ת×ר yaÌthuÌr, means properly a âsearching out,â and then that which is obtained by search. The word ârangeâ expresses the idea with sufficient exactness. The usual range of the wild ass is the mountains. Pallas, who has given a full description of the habits of the Onager, or wild ass, states, that it, especially loves desolate hills as its abode. âActs of the Society of Sciences of Petersburg,â for the year 1777.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 39:8. The range of the mountains — The mountains and desert places are his peculiar places of pasture; and he lives on any thing that is green, or any kind of vegetable production.
