Job 9:33

Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

Daysman between us, that might lay his hand upon us both - mediator or umpire х mowkiyach (H3198), an arbitrator, from yaakach (H3198), to manifest or reprove]. There is no umpire to whose authoritative decision both God and I are equally amenable; an arbitrator, the imposition of whose hand expresses power to adjudicate between the persons. As still in the East, it is the practice for two disputants to refer to a passing stranger, and tell him to lay his hand upon both parties, so as to arbitrate or mediate between them. There might be one on a level with Job, the one party; but Job knew of none on a level with the Almighty, the other party - "If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him?" (1 Samuel 2:25). We Christians know of such a Mediator (not however, in the sense umpire), on a level with both, the God-man, Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
