Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 39:1

1. KNowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth ? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve ?

That thou mayest then go to them and afford them thy help in their hard work.

Which dwell in high and steep Rocks where no Man can come. See 1 am. 24. 2. Psal. 104. 18.

Which they do with great difficulty as is implied, Psal. 29. 9. and noted by Philosophers, wherein they have no assistance from men but onely from God.

When God by his secret instinct directs them to a certain Herb called Seseli, which, as Naturalists report, doth hasten and help forward their Birth.
