Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? literally, the breadths; i.e. the dimensions generally. The exact dimensions are probably not even yet known. Job can scarcely have had any conception of them. To him the earth was probably a vast plain, extended, he knew not how far, in all directions. Declare if thou knowest it all (comp. vers. 4, 5, and 21).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) Perceived.--Or rather, perhaps, comprehended.The breadth of the earth.--The earth being conceived of as a vast plain (comp. Job 38:13). Unscientific as all this language is, it is not a little remarkable that the majestic sublimity of it is not one whit affected thereby.
