Some Bible scholars feel that the expression “skin in behalf of skin ” may imply that Job would selfishly be willing to allow his children and animals to lose their skins, or lives, as long as he could keep his own skin, or life.
Beberapa pakar Alkitab mengatakan bahwa ungkapan ” kulit ganti kulit ” mungkin menyiratkan bahwa Ayub egois dan rela anak - anak dan ternaknya kehilangan kulit, atau nyawa, asalkan kulitnya, atau nyawanya, sendiri terselamatkan.
