Job 39:2 Parallel Commentary Clarke's Commentary on the BibleKnowest thou the time - To know time, etc., only, was easy, and has nothing extraordinary in it; but the meaning of these questions is, to know the circumstances, which have something peculiarly expressive of God's providence, and make the questions proper in this place. Pliny observes, that the hind with young is by instinct directed to a certain herb, named seselis, which facilitates the birth.

What is called the wild goat, יעל yael, from עלה alah, to ascend, go or mount up, is generally understood to be the ibex or mountain goat, called yael, from the wonderful manner in which it mounts to the tops of the highest rocks. It is certain, says Johnston, there is no crag of the mountains so high, prominent or steep, but this animal will mount it in a number of leaps, provided only it be rough, and have protuberances large enough to receive its hoofs in leaping. This animal is indigenous to Arabia, is of amazing strength and agility, and considerably larger than the common goat.

One was taken by Charles VI., in the forest of Senlis, about whose neck was a collar with this inscription, Caesar hoc mihi donavit, which led some to believe that this animal had lived from the days of some one of the twelve Caesars, emperors of Rome. I have seen the following form of this inscription: - Tempore quo Caesar Roma dominatus in alta Aureolo jussit collum signare monili; Nehemiah depascentem quisquis me gramina laedat. Caesaris heu! caussa periturae parcere vitae! Which has been long public in the old English ballad strain, thus: - "When Julius Caesar reigned king, About my neck he put this ring; That whosoever should me take Would save my life for Caesar's sake." Aristotle mentions the longevity of the stag, but thinks it fabulous. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Library Whether Daring is a Sin?Objection 1: It seems that daring is not a sin.
