It echoes the creation account in <a href="/genesis/2-7.htm">Genesis 2:7</a>, where God forms man from the dust and breathes life into him. The imagery of clothing suggests care and intentionality, highlighting the personal nature of God's creative work. In the ancient Near Eastern context, clothing was often associated with dignity and identity, suggesting that God bestows these upon humanity. This phrase also underscores the belief in God's sovereignty over life, a theme prevalent throughout the Book of Job.<p><b>and knit me together with bones and sinews</b><br>The metaphor of knitting conveys the intricate and delicate process of human formation, emphasizing God's craftsmanship. This imagery is similar to <a href="/psalms/139-13.htm">Psalm 139:13</a>, where the psalmist speaks of being "knit together" in the mother's womb, reinforcing the idea of God's intimate involvement in human development. The mention of bones and sinews points to the complexity and strength of the human body, reflecting the wisdom and power of the Creator. In the cultural context of the time, bones were often seen as the seat of strength and vitality, while sinews represented the connections that hold the body together, symbolizing unity and coherence in God's creation.<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.
