Commentary on Job 29:12
Job recalls: 'Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.' The verb natsal (נָצַל, delivered) means to rescue or save. Ani (עָנִי, poor) refers to the afflicted or oppressed. Yatom (יָתוֹם, fatherless) denotes orphans. Job's defense includes his righteous conduct—he practiced justice and mercy. The verse demonstrates that Job's claim of innocence wasn't mere protestation but substantiated by righteous living. Job fulfilled what Torah would later command about caring for the vulnerable (Deuteronomy 24:17-21).
