Specific sins are now charged against Job. "Without any evidence whatsoever, Eliphaz openly charged Job with several social evils" (Zuck p. 103). In the Law of Moses it was decreed that if. man was forced to give his outer garment to. creditor as. pledge of payment, the garment was to be returned to him at night so that he would have its protection from the cold (Exodus 22:26-27; Deuteronomy 24:10-13). Job will answer this charge in Job 31:19-22.
