The Hebrew word for "give" is "שִׂים" (sim), which can also mean "set" or "appoint." This suggests Job's desire for God to establish something firm and unchangeable in his life amidst the chaos. Historically, this reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of seeking divine assurance in times of distress, emphasizing Job's unwavering faith in God's ultimate authority and justice.<p><b>the pledge You demand</b><br />The term "pledge" in Hebrew is "עָרַב" (arab), which refers to a security or guarantee. In the context of ancient legal practices, a pledge was a binding agreement, often involving collateral. Job is asking God for a tangible assurance of his vindication. This reflects the cultural and legal customs of the time, where pledges were crucial in maintaining trust and accountability. Spiritually, it underscores Job's trust in God's righteousness and his hope for a divine guarantee of his integrity.<p><b>Who else will be my guarantor?</b><br />The word "guarantor" in Hebrew is "עָרֵב" (arev), closely related to the word for pledge. It signifies someone who takes responsibility for another's obligations. Job's rhetorical question highlights his isolation and the absence of any human advocate. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God as the ultimate guarantor of justice and righteousness. In a conservative Christian perspective, this foreshadows the New Testament revelation of Christ as the believer's advocate and guarantor before God, emphasizing the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout Scripture.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/job/17.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(3) <span class= "bld">Lay down now . . .</span>--<span class= "ital">i.e., Give now a pledge; be surety for me with Thyself. </span>He has declared that he has a witness in the heavens, but he desires some <span class= "ital">present </span>token of the vindication to come of which he is confident, and so he asks God to give him such a pledge. This is virtually the same prayer that we find Hezekiah using (<a href="/isaiah/38-14.htm" title="Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: my eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.">Isaiah 38:14</a>): "O Lord, I am oppressed: <span class= "ital">undertake </span>for me," that is, "Be surety for me." (See also <a href="/psalms/119-122.htm" title="Be surety for your servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.">Psalm 119:122</a> : "Be surety for thy servant for good.") There is that in man which demands exact and rigorous fulfilment or expiation of non-fulfilment. Job felt that his only hope of this fulfilment or expiation of non-fulfilment lay with God Himself: that same God who had put this sense of obligation within him; therefore he says, Be surety for me with Thyself." He longed for the daysman who should lay his hand upon both him and God; he now longs for that surety with God that God alone can give. The surety must be Divine if his witness is in the heavens; it must be the witness of God to God himself. In this wonderful way does the language of Job fit in with all that we have since and elsewhere learnt of the persons in the Godhead.<p><span class= "bld">Who is he that will strike hands with me?</span>--This was the method of becoming surety; but he knows that there is no one among his friends who will do this, or that could do it if he would. (Comp. <a href="/psalms/49-7.htm" title="None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:">Psalm 49:7</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/17.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 3.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Lay down now</span>; or, <span class="accented">give now a</span> pledge (see the Revised Version). The terms used in this verse are law terms. Job calls upon God to go into court with him, and, first of all, to deposit the caution-money which the court will require before it undertakes the investigation of the case. Next, he goes on to say, <span class="cmt_word">put me in a surety with thee</span>; or rather (as in the Revised Version), <span class="accented">be surety for me with thyself</span> which is either the same thing with giving a pledge, or a further legal requirement. Finally, he asks the question, <span class="cmt_word">Who is he that will strike hands with me?</span> meaning, "Who else is there but thyself, to whom I can look to be my surety, and by striking hands (comp. <a href="/proverbs/6-1.htm">Proverbs 6:1</a>) with me to accept the legal responsibility?" As Dr. Stanley Leathes says, "It is wonderful the way in which the language of Job fits in with what we have since and elsewhere learnt concerning the Persons in the Godhead." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/17-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Give [me],</span><br /><span class="heb">שִֽׂימָה־</span> <span class="translit">(śî·māh-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular | third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7760.htm">Strong's 7760: </a> </span><span class="str2">Put -- to put, place, set</span><br /><br /><span class="word">I pray,</span><br /><span class="heb">נָּ֭א</span> <span class="translit">(nā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Interjection<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4994.htm">Strong's 4994: </a> </span><span class="str2">I pray', 'now', 'then'</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the pledge</span><br /><span class="heb">עָרְבֵ֣נִי</span> <span class="translit">(‘ā·rə·ḇê·nî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6148.htm">Strong's 6148: </a> </span><span class="str2">To braid, intermix, technically, to traffic, give to be security</span><br /><br /><span class="word">You [demand].</span><br /><span class="heb">עִמָּ֑ךְ</span> <span class="translit">(‘im·māḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | second person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5973.htm">Strong's 5973: </a> </span><span class="str2">With, equally with</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Who else</span><br /><span class="heb">מִֽי</span> <span class="translit">(mî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Interrogative<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4310.htm">Strong's 4310: </a> </span><span class="str2">Who?, whoever, in oblique construction with prefix, suffix</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will be my guarantor?</span><br /><span class="heb">לְיָדִ֥י</span> <span class="translit">(lə·yā·ḏî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> </span><span class="str2">A hand</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/job/17-3.htm">OT Poetry: Job 17:3 Now give a pledge be collateral (Jb) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/job/17-2.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Job 17:2"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Job 17:2" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/job/17-4.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Job 17:4"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Job 17:4" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
