Gill's Notes on the Bible
To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys,.... Or "brooks" l, in such hollow places as were made by floods and streams of waters:
[in] caves of the earth, and [in] the rocks; where they betook themselves for fear of men, and through shame, being naked and miserable not fit to be seen: Job has respect to the Horites and Troglodytes, his neighbours, who dwelt in such places chiefly.
l × ×××× "torrentium", Tigurine version, Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys - The word here rendered âcliffsâ (ער××¥ âaÌruÌts) denotes rather âhorror,â or something âhorrid,â and the sense here is, that they dwelt in âthe horrer of valleys;â that is, in horrid valleys. The idea is that of deep and frightful glens, where wild beasts ranged, far from the abodes of men, and surrounded by frightful wastes. The word rendered âvalleysâ (× ×× nachal) means properly a brook, stream, water-course - what is now called a wady; a place where the winter torrents run, but which is usually dry in summer; see the notes at Job 6:15.
In caves of the earth - Margin, as in Hebrew âholes.â Septuagint âWhose houses are - ÏÏÏÍγλαι ÏεÏÏÏÍν troÌglai petroÌn - caverns of the rocks;â that is, who are âTroglodytes.â Caves furnished a natural dwelling for the poor and the outcast, and it is well known that it was not uncommon in Egypt, and in the deserts of Arabia, to occupy such caves as a habitation; see Diod. Sic. Lib. iii. xiv. and Strabo, Lib. 16,
And in the rocks - The caverns of the rocks. Dr. Richardson found a large number of such dwellings in the vicinity of Thebes, many of which were large and beautifully formed and sculptured with many curious devices. Mr. Rich, also, saw a large number of such caves not far from Mousal. Residence in Koordistan, vol. ii. p. 94.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 30:6. To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys — They were obliged to take shelter in the most dangerous, out-of-the-way, and unfrequented places. This is the meaning.
