In the context of the Book of Job, it reflects the belief that God can save and redeem individuals regardless of their guilt. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative of God's willingness to forgive and restore sinners, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/1-18.htm">Isaiah 1:18</a>, where God invites sinners to reason with Him and promises cleansing. The idea of deliverance for the guilty also foreshadows the New Testament message of salvation through Jesus Christ, who offers redemption to all, regardless of their past sins (<a href="/romans/5-8.htm">Romans 5:8</a>).<p><b>rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.</b><br>This part of the verse suggests that the righteousness or purity of one person can have a redemptive effect on another. In the cultural and historical context of the Old Testament, the concept of intercession is significant. Figures like Abraham and Moses interceded for others, and their righteousness played a role in God's dealings with people (<a href="/genesis/18-22.htm">Genesis 18:22-33</a>; <a href="/exodus/32-11.htm">Exodus 32:11-14</a>). The phrase also points to the importance of personal integrity and righteousness, which can influence God's actions. In a typological sense, this can be seen as a precursor to the intercessory role of Christ, whose righteousness and sacrifice provide a means of rescue and salvation for humanity (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.

"He would have delivered him that is not innocent; yea, even so shall he be delivered by the cleanness of thy hands," as the ten righteous would have saved Sodom. It is remarkable that this, which is the last word of Eliphaz, has in it the significance of a prophecy, for it is exactly thus that the history of Job closes; and Eliphaz himself exemplified his own promise in being indebted to Job for the act of intercession by which he was pardoned, together with his friends; <a href="/context/job/42-8.htm" title="Therefore take to you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.">Job 42:8-9</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 30.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">He shall deliver the island of the innocent</span>; rather, he <span class="accented">shall deliver even him that is not innocent</span> (see the Revised Version).
