Commentary on Job 21:22
Job asks rhetorically: 'Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.' The verb lamad (לָמַד, teach) means to instruct or train. Da'at (דַּעַת, knowledge) refers to knowledge or understanding. Job's question is profound: who can instruct infinite wisdom? The phrase 'he judgeth those that are high' (hu ramim yishpot, הוּא רָמִים יִשְׁפֹּט) emphasizes God's authority over the exalted and powerful. Job refutes his friends' presumption to explain God's ways—if God needs no instruction, neither should humans presume to fully understand His judgments.
