Commentary on Job 1:8
God's question to Satan introduces the central conflict. The phrase 'Hast thou considered' (sam libbeka, שַׂמְתָּ לִבְּךָ) literally means 'Have you set your heart/mind upon'—God directs Satan's attention to Job. The divine description repeats verse 1's language about Job being 'perfect and upright.' The phrase 'there is none like him in the earth' establishes Job's unique righteousness. This sets up Satan's accusation: does Job serve God freely or only for benefits? The text reveals God's sovereign control—Satan can only act with divine permission, bound by limits God sets.
