Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 22:24

24. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust , and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brook.

Solid or choice Gold, as the word signifies.

i. e. In great abundance. Or, upon the dust, or ground: It shall be so plentiful, and therefore vile, that thou shalt not lock it up in Chests and Treasuries, but scatter it any where, and let it lie even upon the ground.

As plentifully as if the pieces of Gold were but so many pebble stones, which are to be found in and near every Brook. Or, for the stones, i. e. in stead of them. Or, in the rock, or among the rocks: Gold shall be so abundant that thou mayst lay it any where, even upon or among the Rocks.

Marginal references: Or, in the dust; Heb. in, or among the stones.
