It implies that Job's knowledge is limited compared to God's eternal wisdom. The reference to "the first man" alludes to Adam, the first human created by God, as described in <a href="/genesis/2-7.htm">Genesis 2:7</a>. This question underscores the theme of human limitations in understanding divine purposes, a central theme in the Book of Job. It also reflects the ancient Near Eastern belief in the wisdom of the ancients, suggesting that true wisdom comes from long experience and divine revelation, not from human presumption.<p><b>Were you brought forth before the hills?</b><br>This phrase uses poetic imagery to emphasize the antiquity and permanence of creation compared to human life. The "hills" symbolize the ancient and enduring aspects of the earth, often associated with stability and longevity. This imagery is reminiscent of <a href="/proverbs/8-25.htm">Proverbs 8:25</a>, where wisdom is personified and described as existing before the mountains and hills were formed. The question implies that Job's understanding is not as ancient or enduring as the creation itself, highlighting the vast difference between human and divine perspectives. This serves to remind readers of the eternal nature of God and His creation, contrasting with the temporal nature of human existence.<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.

It is not clear that Eliphaz had ever heard of Adam; but he evidently believed in a "first man," from whom all others were descended, and he attributed to this first man a mind and intellect surpassing those of all other men. His question is, of course, rather a scoff than an inquiry. He knows that Job makes no such foolish pretence; but he throws it in his teeth that, from what he has said, men might suppose he took some such view of himself. <span class="cmt_word">Or wast thou made before the hills?</span> This is a taunt of the same kind as the previous one, but intensified. Wisdom is the result of experience. Art thou older than all the rest of us - older than the earth itself, than "the everlasting hills"?
