The Book of Job is an Arab poem, antecedent to the Mosaic dispensation. It / represents the mind of a good man not enlightened by an actual revelation, / but seeking about for one. In no other book is the desire and necessity for / a Mediator so intensely expressed. The personality of God, the I AM of the / Hebrews, is most vividly impressed on the book, in opposition to pantheism.

I now think, after many doubts, that the passage, "I know that my Redeemer / liveth," &c. may fairly be taken as a burst of determination, a _quasi_ / prophecy. [1] "I know not _how_ this can be; but in spite of all my / difficulties, this I _do_ know, that I shall be recompensed."
