Which some interpret in reference to the soul, which is covered over and enclosed with the skin and flesh.
But this clothing of skin and flesh refers rather to those inward, more noble and tender parts, the heart, liver, brain and bowels, these are enclosed with skin and flesh, lest they should take cold; these are fenced with bones and sinews, lest they should take hurt. Hence death is called an unclothing. Death strips us, not only to the skin, but of the skin, We that are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burdened, not for that we would be unclothed, (2 Cor. 5.4.) that is, not that we would put off this garment of skin and flesh, this natural clothing, but we would have a supernatural clothing upon it, even a vest of glory put upon these vests of frailty. This Scripture in Job is of the same language with that of Paul, Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh.
