Or, Wast thou made before the hills?
Some conceive, that by the Hills he means the Angels, 1but that Exposition smells too much of the Allegory: Take the Hills literally, for the uppermost parts or bosses of the earth; the Original is, Wast thou formed or made before the face of the hills? which is an Hebraism. Some interpret the Hills by a Synecdoche, for the whole earth, then the sense is, Wast thou formed before the earth? The first man was formed out of the earth, and art thou older then the earth? So that here Eliphaz puts him by a challenge of greater antiquity then in the former part of the Verse, Wast thou the first man that was borne, or wast thou made before the earth? the earth is elder then man, both had not the same birth-day.
