Definitions for Job 10:11
Barnes's Job 10:11 Bible Commentary
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh - This refers, undoubtedly, to the formation of man in his foetal existence, and is designed to denote that the whole organization of the human frame was to be traced to God. Grotius remarks that this is the order in which the infant is formed - that the skin appears first, then the flesh, then the harder parts of the frame. On this subject, the reader may consult Dunglison's Physiology, vol. ii. p. 340ff.
And hast fenced me - Margin, Hedged. Literally, Hast covered me. The sense is plain. God had formed him as he was, and to him he owed his life, and all that he had. Job asks with the deepest interest whether God would take down a frame formed in this manner, and reduce it again to dust? Would it not be more for his honor to preserve it still - at least to the common limit of human life?
Wesley's Job 10:11 Bible Commentary
10:11 Clothed - Covered my inward and more noble parts; which are first formed. So he proceeds in describing man's formation gradually.Bones - The stay and strength of the body; and some of them, as the skull and ribs, enclose and defend its vital parts.
