That's the first Question; Hast thou since thy days, given the morning its charge; to Mr. Broughton translates, implying, that every morning the Sun receives as it were fresh orders from some hand or other? now, hast thou given out orders for ••e morning light; Doth the day-light obey thee? Doth the Sun arise at such times and places as thou hast appointed? Hast thou commanded it (so we render) The word notes commanding with fullest authority,1 a command to appear and be ready upon duty, a command to stand forth and do what is enjoined. This word of command is most proper unto God (Psal. 33.9.) He spake the word, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The command of God is a creating command, it puts things into act; his saying gives them a being; his calling them to work, makes them work, or sets them a work. Now, saith God, Hast thou commanded the morning? Hast thou, O Job, such a word of command upon any creature, for the producing of any effect, motion, or action? Hast thou commanded The morning?
