Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 6:16

16. Which are blackish by reason of the ice , and wherein the snow is hid .

Which in winter, when the traveller neither needs nor desires it, are full of water then congealed by the Forst.

Either 1. Under which the water made of snow, which formerly fell and afterward was dissolved, lies hid. So he implies that he speaks not of those Brooks which are fed by a constant Spring, but of them which are filled by accidental and extraordinary falls of water or snow melted, which run into them. Or 2. Wherein there is abundance of snow mixed with or covered by the Ice; Or, I[illegible: 1+ letters] which to s[illegible: 1+ letters]ow covers itself, i. e. Where is snow upon snow. Which gives the traveller hopes, that when he comes that way in summer he shall find good store of water here for his refreshment.
