Contextual Overview

¹⁹ Hast thou geue the horse his strength, or learned him to ney coragiously? ²⁰ Canst thou make him afrayde as a grashopper? where as the stoute neying that he maketh is fearefull. ²¹ He breaketh the grounde with the hooffes of his feete, he reioyceth cherefully in his strength, and runneth to meete the harnest men. ²² He layeth aside all feare, his stomacke is not abated, neither starteth he backe for any sworde. ²³ Though the quiuers rattle vpon him, though the speare and shielde glister: ²⁴ Yet rusheth he in fiercely beating the grounde, he thinketh it not the noyse of the trumpettes: ²⁵ But when the trumpettes make most noyse, he saith, tushe, for he smelleth the battaile a farre of, the noyse of the captaines and the shouting.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He paweth in the valley,.... Where armies are usually pitched and set in battle army, and especially the cavalry, for which the valley is most convenient; and here the horse is impatient of engaging, cannot stand still, but rises up with his fore feet and paws and prances, and, as the word signifies, digs the earth and makes it hollow, by a continual striking upon it; so generally horses are commonly described in this manner s;

and rejoiceth in [his] strength; of which he is sensible, and glories in it; marches to the battle with pride and stateliness, defying, as it were, the enemy, and as if sure of victory, of which he has knowledge when obtained; for Lactantius says t of horses, when conquerors they exult, when conquered they grieve; it has its name in the Hebrew language from rejoicing u;

he goeth on to meet the armed men; without any fear or dread of them, as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He paweth in the valley - Margin, “or, His feet dig.” The marginal reading is more in accordance with the Hebrew. The reference is to the well known fact of the “pawing” of the horse with his feet, as if he would dig up the ground. The same idea occurs in Virgil, as quoted above:

caavatque

Tellurem, et solido graviter solar ungula cornu.

Also in Apollonius, L. iii. “Argonauticon:”

Ὡς δ ̓ ἀρήΐος ἵππος, ἐελδόμενος πολεμοίο,

Σκαρθμῷ ἐπιχρεμέθων κρούει πέδον.

Hōs d' arēios hippos, eeldomenos polemoio,

Skarthmō epichremethōn krouei pedon.

“As a war-horse, impatient for the battle,

Neighing beats the ground with bis hoofs”

He goeth on to meet the armed men - Margin, “armor.” The margin is in accordance with the Hebrew, but still the idea is substantially the same. The horse rushes on furiously against the weapons of war.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 39:21. He paweth in the valley — רעם yachperu, "they dig in the valley," i.e., in his violent galloping, in every pitch of his body, he scoops up sods out of the earth. Virgil has seized this idea also, in his cavat tellurem; "he scoops out the ground." See before.
