Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 29:19

"My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lieth all night upon my branch;" — Job 29:19 (ASV)

My root was spread. —It is perhaps better to read this and the next verse in the present: “My root is spread out ... and the dew lies. My glory is fresh in me, and my bow is renewed.” (Genesis 49:24).
