Job 21:24

His breasts: the Hebrew word is not elsewhere used, and therefore it is diversely translated; either, 1. Breasts. But that seems very improper here, because men's breasts do not use to be filled with milk. Or, 2. Milk-pails. But their fulness is common, and no sign of eminent plenty, which is here designed. Besides, the following branch, which in Job and elsewhere frequently explains the former, implies that it signifies some part of man's body, as all the ancient interpreters render it; either the sides, as some of them have it; or the bowels, as others. But for the following milk they read fat; the Hebrew letters being exactly the same in both words; and the Hebrews by the name of milk do oft understand fat. His bones are moistened with marrow; which is opposed to the dryness of the bones, Job 30:30 Psalms 102:3, which is caused by old age, or grievous distempers or calamities.
