Job42:10
10. And the LORD turned the Captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends : also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
i. e. Brought him out of that state of Bondage, in which he had been so long held by Satan and by his own Spirit, and out of all his distresses and miseries. Or, returned Job's Captivity, i. e. the Persons and things which had been taken from him, not the same which he had lost, but other equivalent to them, and that with advantage.
Whereby he manifested his obedience to God and his true love and charity to them, in being so ready to forgive them and heartily to pray for them; for which God would not let him lose his reward.
An emphatical Particle. He not onely gave him as much as he lost, but double to it.
Marginal references: Heb. added all that had been to Iob unto the double.
