Commentary on Job 40:3

"Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me." God repeats His challenge from 38:3, using the imperative "gird up" (ezor, אֱזָר). The phrase "like a man" (kegever, כְגֶבֶר) calls Job to stand firm and answer directly. The role reversal continues—God questions, Job must answer. This humbles human pretension to judge divine governance. The repeated challenge suggests Job didn't fully grasp the first speech's implications. God graciously reiterates, pressing Job toward complete submission.
