Job2:12
12. And [when they lift up their Eyes afar off, ] and [knew him not, ] they lift up their voice, and wept, and they rent every one his Mantle, and [sprinkled Dust upon their Heads toward Heaven. ]
To wit, at some convenient distance from him: whom they found sitting upon the ground, either in the open Air, or within his own House.
His Countenance being so fearfully changed and disfigured by his Boils.
Either upon the upper part of their Heads, which looks towards Heaven: or cast it up into the Air so as it should fall upon their Heads; as they did Act. 22. 23. See Ios. 7. 6. Nehem. 9. 1. Lam. 2. 10.
