Guiding Questions: Job 41

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What has the description of the great animal in Job 40 led up to in Job 41?
  2. Do you detest another gibe directed at Job (Job 41:3-4)?
  3. Does the writer describe a creature actually found in nature? If not, what is its source (Job 41:5-16)?
  4. Who are the “divine beings” in Job 41:17?
  5. Explain “he makes the abyss seem white faced” (Job 41:24).
  6. What is the underlying message that the Lord is conveying to Job in this entire oration? How does He respond to Job’s torments and questioning of God’s ways?
