Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 9:33

33. Neither is there any days▪man betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both .

Or, a Reprover; or a Judge or Umpire, whose office was to reprove the guilty person.

i. e. Use his power and authority to appoint the time and place of our meeting; to order and govern us in pleading; and to oblige us to stand to his decision. The hand is oft put for power, and laying on the hand upon another was oft-times an act and sign of superiority and dominion.

Marginal references: 1 Sam. 2. 25. ver. 19.; Heb. one that shall argue.; Or, Umpire.
