Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 8:11

11. Can the rush grow up without mire ? can the flagg grow without water?

i. e. If it be not in moist and miry ground. This and what follows hementions as it were in the person of those antients to whom he had referred him, of whom he saith that they would give him such instructions as these.

Or, the grass: or the mead[illegible: 1+ letters] as this word is used, Gen. 41. 2. i. e. The grass of a meadow. But our translation seems the best, because it is compared with other herbs.

Marginal references: Heb. lift up it self.
