Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 28:27

"Then did he see it, and declare it; He established it, yea, and searched it out." — Job 28:27 (ASV)

The terms employed with reference to the Lord’s knowledge of wisdom are remarkable. They are:

1. Seeing, or intuition.
2. Declaring or numbering, ratiocination.
3. Preparing or establishing, determination.
4. Searching out, or investigation.

Each of these actions implies the operation of mind and is thus opposed to the determinism of an impersonal law or the fixed necessity of an inevitable nature.
