And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
Cuando lo vieron desde lejos y no lo reconocieron, gritaron fuerte y lloraron. Cada uno de ellos se rasgó la ropa y se echó polvo sobre la cabeza hacia el cielo.
Los amigos de Job quedaron tan impactados por su sufrimiento que no lo reconocieron y expresaron su dolor con lamentos y gestos de duelo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse describes the arrival of Job's three friends - Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar - who had traveled to comfort him after hearing about his disasters. In ancient Middle Eastern culture, tearing one's clothes and putting dust or ashes on one's head were traditional expressions of deep grief and mourning. The fact that they didn't recognize Job shows how drastically his physical appearance had changed due to his painful skin disease and overall suffering.
