In the Flesh or Without It?
Scholars debate the precise meaning of Job's statement. Some, like John Gill, see a clear promise of a future bodily resurrection, where Job will see God in his own restored flesh. Others, like Albert Barnes, analyze the Hebrew phrase, often translated 'in my flesh,' to mean 'from' or 'without' my flesh, suggesting a spiritual vindication after his body is gone. This highlights a long-standing interpretive discussion about the nature of resurrection in the Old Testament.
