Context — The LORD Blesses Job

9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer. 10After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.

11All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

12So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

Job 42:11 Summary

In this verse, we see Job's brothers and sisters coming to comfort and support him after all he had been through, and they show their love and care for him by giving him gifts of silver and gold. This is a beautiful picture of the kind of community and support we are called to provide for one another, as seen in Galatians 6:2. Just like Job, we can trust in God's sovereignty and faithfulness, even when we don't understand what He is doing in our lives, and we can seek His guidance and provision in times of need, as seen in Psalm 23:4 and Jeremiah 29:11. By doing so, we can experience restoration and renewal, just like Job did, and use our experiences to comfort and encourage others.

We can learn that even in the midst of great suffering, God is still at work and can bring restoration and renewal, as we see in Job 42:11 and Jeremiah 29:11, and that our response should be one of faith, trust, and obedience, as seen in Job 1:21 and 2:10.

Gill's Exposition on Job 42:11

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters,.... Which may be taken not in a strict sense, but in a larger sense for all that were related to him; the same with his kinsfolks, Job

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 42:11

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Job 42:11

Then, when Job had humbled himself, and God was reconciled to Job, he quickly turned the hearts of his friends to favour him, according to ; as during his impenitency, and for his trial and humiliation, lie had alienated their hearts from him, of which Job so sadly complains. His brethren and his sisters; largely so called, according to the Scripture use of these titles, to wit, his kindred distinguished from his other acquaintance. Did eat bread with him, i.e. feasted with him, as that phrase is commonly used in Scripture, to congratulate with him for God’ s great and glorious favour already vouchsafed to him in so eminent a vision and revelation. They bemoaned him; they declared the sense which they had of his calamities whilst they were upon him, although they had hitherto wanted opportunity to express it. Over all the evil; or, concerning all the evil; which though it was bitter to endure when it was present, yet the remembrance of it revived in him by the discourses of his friends was very delightful, as is usual in such cases. Every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold; partly to make up his former losses, and partly as a testimony of their honourable respect to him.

Trapp's Commentary on Job 42:11

Job 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.Ver. 11. Then came there unto him all his brethren] Then, when God had begun to restore him. As his adversity had scattered his friends, so his prosperity brought them together again. This is the world’ s usage. Dum fueris faelix multos numerabis amicos; Tempera si fuerint nubila, solus eris. Summer birds there are not a few; Samaritans who would own the Jews while they flourished but otherwise disavow them; as they did to Antiochus Epiphanes: rich Job had many friends, Proverbs 14:20. Qui tamen persistebant amicitia sicut lepus iuxta tympanum, as the proverb is. All this good Job passeth by, and forgetting all unkindnesses, magnificently treateth them; as Isaac in like case had done Abimelech and his train, Genesis 26:30. And did eat bread with him in his house] It is likely they came with their cost to make Job a feast of comfort, such as were usual in those days, Jeremiah 16:7 Ezekiel 24:17. But whether they did or not, they were welcome to Job; who now never upbraids them with their forsaking him in his distress (which yet was then a great grief to him), but friendly again embraceth them, and courteously entertaineth them. This is contrary to the practice of many fierce and implacable spirits in these days, whose wrath, like that of the Athenians, is αειμνηστος, long lasting; and although they themselves are mortal, yet their hearts are immortal. And they bemoaned him] They condoled with him, and shook their heads, as the word signifieth; not by way of deriding him, as once they had done, Job 16:1-22, but of sorrow for their former deserting him, and assurance that they would henceforth better stick to him in what estate soever. And comforted him over all the evil, &c.] So they should have done long before. A friend is made for the day of adversity; but better late than never. Nunquam sane sero si serio. See here, saith Brentius, the change of affairs, and the right hand of the Most High, and learn the fear of God; for as he frowneth or favoureth any man, so will the world do. Every man also gave him apiece of money] Or, a lamb, to stock him again. Beza rendereth it, Some one of his cattle, and paraphraseth thus: Yea, every one of them gave him either a sheep, or an ox, or a camel, and also an earring of gold; partly as a pledge of their good will and friendship renewed toward him, and partly in consideration and recompense of that loss which he had before, by the will and previous appointment of God, sustained.

Ellicott's Commentary on Job 42:11

(11) Every man also gave him a piece of money.—The Hebrew word is kesξtβh, which is found also in the narrative of Jacob’s purchase of the field of the children of Hamor (Genesis 33:19). Some have supposed, from a comparison of this passage with Genesis 23:16, which relates the corresponding transaction between Abraham and the sons of Heth, that the value of the kesξtβh was four shekels, but this is, of course, not certain from these narratives. Tradition says that the kesξtβh was a coin with the figure of & lamb stamped upon it.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Job 42:11

Verse 11. Then came there unto him all his brethren] "Job being restored to his former health and fortunes, the author," says Mr. Heath, "presents us with a striking view of human friendship. His brethren, who, in the time of his affliction, kept at a distance from him; his kinsfolk, who ceased to know him; his familiar friends, who had forgotten him; and his acquaintance, who had made themselves perfect strangers to him; those to whom he had showed kindness, and who yet had ungratefully neglected him, on the return of his prosperity now come and condole with him, desirous of renewing former familiarity; and, according to the custom of the Eastern countries, where there is no approaching a great man without a present, each brings him a kesitah, each a jewel of gold." See Job 42:12. A piece of money] קשיטה kesitah signifies a lamb; and it is supposed that this piece of money had a lamb stamped on it, as that quantity of gold was generally the current value for a lamb. See Clarke on Genesis 33:19, where the subject is largely considered. The Vulgate, Chaldee, Septuagint, Arabic, and Syriac, have one lamb or sheep; so it appears that they did not understand the kesitah as implying a piece of money of any kind, but a sheep or a lamb. Earring of gold] Literally, a nose-jewel. The Septuagint translate, τετραδραχμονχρυσου, a tetra-drachm of gold, or golden daric; but by adding καιασημου, unstamped, they intimate that it was four drachms of uncoined gold.

Cambridge Bible on Job 42:11

11. Comp. Job’s sorrowful lamentations over the alienation of all his friends and acquaintances, ch. Job 19:13 seq. piece of money] The Heb. is Kesita, probably an uncoined piece of silver, of a certain weight, Genesis 33:19; Joshua 24:32.

Barnes' Notes on Job 42:11

Then came there unto him all his brethren ... - It seems remarkable that none of these friends came near to him during his afflictions, and especially that his “sisters” should not have been with him to sympathize with him.

Whedon's Commentary on Job 42:11

11. All his sisters — This is the first intimation given that Job had sisters; and as, consequently, they do not appear in the six classes Job enumerates of those who were estranged from him, (Job
