Contextual Overview

¹ Knowest thou the time whe the wylde goates bring foorth their young among the stonye rockes? or layest thou wayte when the hindes vse to calue? ² Canst thou number the monethes that they go with young? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth? ³ They lye downe, they calue their young ones, and they are deliuered of their trauaile and paine: ⁴ Yet their young ones grow vp, and waxe fatte through good feeding with corne: They go foorth, and returne not againe vnto them. ⁵ Who letteth the wylde asse to go free? or who looseth the bondes of the wylde mule? ⁶ Euen I which haue geuen the wyldernesse to be their house, and the vntilled land to be their dwelling. ⁷ They force not for the multitude of people in the citie, neither regarde the crying of the driuer: ⁸ But seeke their pasture about the mountaines, and folowe the greene grasse. ⁹ Wyll the vnicorne do thee seruice, or abide still by thy cribbe? ¹⁰ Canst thou binde the yoke about the vnicorne in the forowe, to make him plowe after thee in the valleyes?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Whose house I have made the wilderness,.... Appointed that to be his place of residence, as being agreeable to his nature, at a distance from men, and in the less danger of being brought into subjection by them. Such were the deserts of Arabia; where, as Xenophon n relates, were many of these creatures, and which he represents as very swift: and Leo Africanus o says, great numbers of them are found in deserts, and on the borders of deserts; hence said to be used to the wilderness Jeremiah 2:24;

and the barren land his dwellings; not entirely barren, for then it could not live there; but comparatively, with respect to land that is fruitful: or "salt land" p; for, as Pliny q says, every place where salt is, is barren.

n De Expedition. Cyri, l. 1. o Descriptio Africae, l. 9. p. 752. p מלחה "salsuginem", Montanus; "salsuginosam terram", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. q Nat. Hist. l. 31. c. 7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Whose house I have made - God had appointed its home in the desert.

And the barren land his dwellings - Margin, as in Hebrew “salt places.” Such places were usually barren. Psalms 107:34, “he turneth a fruitful land into barrenness.” Hebrew “saltness.” Thus, Virgil, Geor. ii. 238-240:

Salsa antem tellus, et quae, perhibetur amara.

Frugibus infelix: ea nec mansuescit arando;

Nec Baccho genus, aut pomis sua nomina servat.

Compare Pliny, Nat. His. 31, 7, Deuteronomy 29:23.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 39:6. Whose house — Habitation, or place of resort.

The barren land — מלחה melechah, the salt land, or salt places, as in the margin. See above.
