His speeches are found in chapters 32-37. Elihu's role is significant because he offers a different perspective from the other three friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. Unlike them, Elihu claims to speak with divine inspiration, suggesting that his words are not merely human wisdom but are guided by the Spirit of God. This sets the stage for God's own response in the subsequent chapters.<br><br>Elihu's speeches are marked by a youthful zeal and a desire to defend God's justice. He is portrayed as a younger man, which is significant in the cultural context of the Ancient Near East, where age was often associated with wisdom. His boldness in speaking out against Job and the other friends reflects a confidence that he believes comes from divine insight.<br><br>The continuation of Elihu's speech indicates that he has more to say about God's justice and power. This persistence can be seen as a reflection of his conviction that he has a message from God that needs to be heard. Elihu's speeches serve as a prelude to God's own discourse, and some scholars suggest that Elihu's role is to prepare Job and the audience for the divine revelation that follows.<br><br>Elihu's speeches also connect to the broader themes of the Book of Job, such as the nature of suffering, the justice of God, and the limitations of human understanding. His emphasis on God's greatness and the need for humility before Him foreshadows the themes that God Himself will address when He speaks to Job out of the whirlwind.<br><br>In terms of typology, Elihu can be seen as a type of Christ in that he acts as an intercessor who seeks to mediate between Job and God. However, unlike Christ, Elihu's understanding is still limited, and he does not provide the ultimate resolution to Job's suffering. This points to the need for a greater mediator, which is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who fully understands both human suffering and divine justice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elihu.htm">Elihu</a></b><br>A young man who speaks in the Book of Job, offering a perspective on Job's suffering.

He professes very great zeal for God, but it is hard to see that some of his great professions are warranted. For instance, he says--<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 1-33.</span> - The two chapters, ch. 36. and 37, form a single discourse, and ought not to have been separated; or, at any rate, not so unskilfully as they are, in the middle of a description of a thunderstorm. They constitute a final appeal to Job, who is exhorted to submission, resignation, and patience, in consideration of God's inscrutability, and of his perfect justice, wisdom, and strength. Ch. 36 begins with a short preface (vers. 1-4), in which Elihu seeks to prove his right to offer counsel to Job, after which God's justice is demonstrated (vers. 5-16), and Job warned that his petulance may lead to his complete destruction (vers. 17-25).
