But I will lay this by, though some set much store by it, as a special treasure of invention; For I much question, not only whether this custom of cursing the day amongst that people, was known unto Job, but whether he ever heard of such a people being so remote and distant from him.
But I will lay this by, though some set much store by it, as a speciall treasure of invention; For I much question, not only whether this custome of cursing the day amongst that people, was known unto Job, but whether he ever heard of such a people being so remote and distant from him.
Secondly, I shall a little open the meaning of that Translation given by Junius, Let them curse it who enlighten the day, who are ready to raise up Leviathan or the Whale.
Secondly, I shall a little open the meaning of that Translation given by Junius, Let them curse it who inlighten the day, who are ready to raise up Leviathan or the Whale.
By those who enlighten the day, he saith the Stars are to be understood, Let those curse thee who enlighten the day, that is, let the Stars curse thee; And who are ready to raise up Leviathan, that is, let the winds be against thee, let the winds curse thee, or be a curse unto thee. The reason he gives, is because Stars are (Illustrators Diei) the inlightners of the day; And to salve it, we must not (saith he) take the day strictly for a day artificial, for then the Stars are of no use, but for that part of the day natural which is dark, namely the night; the Stars are the inlightners of the day, namely of the dark part of the day, the night; And so Job calls here to the very Stars, that they should oppose and trouble that night.
By those who inlighten the day, he saith the Starres are to be understood, Let those curse thee who inlighten the day, that is, let the Starres curse thee; And who are ready to raise up Leviathan, that is, let the windes be against thee, let the winds curse thee, or be a curse unto thee. The reason he gives, is because Starres are (Illustratores Diei) the inlightners of the day; And to salve it, we must not (saith he) take the day strictly for a day artificiall, for then the Starres are of no use, but for that part of the day naturall which is darke, namely the night; the Starres are the inlightners of the day, namely of the darke part of the day, the night; And so Job calls here to the very Starres, that they should oppose and trouble that night.
