Fathers. Hebrew and Septuagint, “father.” (Haydock) — Eliphaz always speaks first, and hints that he was as old, perhaps older, than Job; who had rather found fault with the youth of Sophar, chap. xii. 12. He also boasts that they, or their country, furnished master of greater wisdom and experience than even Job’s father. (Calmet)
