What Does Job 1:5 Mean And when the days of feasting were overJob 1:4 explains that each of Job’s sons hosted a “feast in his house on his day,” inviting their sisters. When the cycle of celebration wrapped up, Job did not brush it off as mere harmless fun. He sensed the spiritual vulnerability that often follows festive gatherings. Scripture repeatedly links feasting with the potential for excess (Proverbs 23:20-21; Ecclesiastes 7:2). Job teaches us vigilance: joy is good, yet watchfulness must follow (1 Peter 5:8). Job would send for his children to purify them Even though these adult children lived independently, their father remained spiritually engaged. “Purify” (or “sanctify”) points to deliberate separation from anything unclean (Genesis 35:2; Exodus 19:10-14). Job models parental intercession: • He calls them in, not to scold, but to shepherd. • He treats sin as a possibility, not a certainty—yet still worth addressing. The scene mirrors Joshua’s call, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders” (Joshua 3:5). Family leadership involves urging loved ones toward holiness. Rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for all of them Job’s devotion is immediate and wholehearted. Rising early recalls Abraham preparing an altar (Genesis 22:3) and Moses meeting God at dawn (Exodus 34:4). The burnt offering, consumed wholly by fire (Leviticus 1), symbolized total surrender to God. Long before the Mosaic Law, Job understands that forgiveness requires substitutionary sacrifice (Genesis 8:20; Hebrews 9:22). Notice the scope: “for all of them.” No child is outside the reach of his concern. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job is realistic about the human heart (Jeremiah 17:9). He does not wait for visible rebellion; he addresses hidden attitudes. “Cursed God” is the very accusation Satan will level later (Job 1:11). Job’s proactive intercession echoes David’s prayer, “Search me, O God… see if there is any offensive way in me” (Psalm 139:23-24). Internal sin matters as much as external (Matthew 5:27-28). This was Job’s regular practice This wasn’t a one-off burst of zeal. Job’s consistency sets him apart, like Daniel’s thrice-daily prayer (Daniel 6:10) and Cornelius’s continual petitions (Acts 10:2). Faithfulness over time deepens spiritual roots (Galatians 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:17). Job’s pattern shows that spiritual leadership is built on rhythm, not occasional frenzy. summary Job 1:5 paints a portrait of a godly parent whose love drives him to vigilant, sacrificial, and regular intercession. After every celebration, Job gathers his family, urges purification, rises early, and presents burnt offerings for each child. He recognizes the unseen dangers of the heart, treats sin seriously, and establishes a steady habit of worship. The verse calls believers to the same vigilant care—celebrate God’s gifts, then diligently guard hearts and homes through consistent, wholehearted devotion. (5) Job sent and sanctified them . . .--The earnest records of society exhibit the father of the family acting as the priest. This is one of the passages that show Job was outside the pale and influence of the Mosaic law, whether this was owing to his age or his country. His life in this respect corresponds with that of the patriarchs in Genesis more nearly than any other in Scripture.Cursed God.--The word used here and in Job 1:11 and Job 2:5; Job 2:9, and also in 1Kings 21:10; 1Kings 21:13, of Naboth, is literally blessed; that in Job 3:1, e.g., &c., being quite different. The contrast in Job 1:22; Job 2:10 snows the Authorised Version to be substantially right, however this contradictory sense is obtained Many languages have words which are used in opposite senses. (Comp. e.g., our "cleave to" and "cleave.") The use of bless in the sense of curse may be a euphemism, or it may arise from giving to it the meaning of saluting or bidding farewell to, and so dismissing. This use is not elsewhere found than in the passages cited above. . . . Verse 5. - And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about; rather, when the days of the feasting had come round; i.e. whenever one of the birthdays had arrived in due course, and the feasting had taken place. That Job sent and sanctified them. In the old world, outside the Mosaic Law, the father of the family was the priest, to whom alone it belonged to bless, purify, and offer sacrifice. Job, after each birthday-feast, sent, it would seem, for his sons, and purified them by the accustomed ablutions, or possibly by some other ceremonial process, regarding it as probable that, in the course of their feasting, they had contracted some defilement. It would seem by the next clause that the purification took place at the close of the day of festivity. And rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings. Burnt offerings were instituted soon after the Fall, as we learn from Genesis 4:4, and were in common use long before the Mosaic Law was given (see Genesis 8:20; Genesis 22:8, 13; Genesis 31:54; Exodus 18:12; 'Records of the Past,' vol. 2. pp. 20, 21; vol. 12. pp. 49, 71, etc.). The practice was common, so far as appears, to all the nations of antiquity, except the Persians (Herod., 1:132). According to the number of them all One, apparently, for each child, since each might have sinned in the way suggested. The offerings were clearly it. tended as expiatory. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. Two wholly different meanings are assigned by good Hebraists to the expression בר אחים. According to some, בר has its usual sense, "to bless," and אלהים signifies "false gods," or "idols;" according to the others, who form the great majority, אלהים has its usual sense of "God," and בר has the unusual sense of "curse" (so Buxtorf, Rosenmuller, Schultens, (Cook, Stanley Leathes, among moderns, and among ancient authorities, the Septuagint and the Vulgate). How the same word comes to have the two wholly opposite senses of "to bless" and "to curse" has been differently explained. Some think that, as men blessed their friends both on receiving them and on bidding them adieu, the word בר got the sense of "bidding adieu to," "dismissing," "renouncing." Others regard the use of בר for "to curse" as a mere euphemism, and compare the use of sacer and sacrari in Latin, and such expressions as "Bless the stupid man!" "What a blessed nuisance!" in English. The maledictory sense seems to be established by Job 2:9 and 1 Kings 21:10. By "cursing God in their hearts" Job probably means "forgetting him," "putting him out of sight," "not giving him the honour which is his due." Thus did Job continually; literally, as in the margin, all the days; i.e. whenever one of the festival-days occurred.Parallel Commentaries ...
