SynopsisExcerpt from The Book of the Patriarch Job: Translated From the Original to Which Is Prefixed an Introduction, on the History, Times, Country, Friends, and Book of the and to Which Is Appended a Commentary, Critical and Exegetical The object of the present undertaking has been, to present to the public as literal a Translation of the Book of Job as the idiom of our language would allow, together with such explanatory matter as seemed necessary. In the first case, the style and language of the Authorised Version have been adopted as far as practicable; because these were deemed the best, both on account of their simplicity and purely English character; and because they had, from long usage, established a sort of claim to pre ference. And, in the second, as to the explanatory matter offered, a translator would hardly be justified in presenting a new translation of any book to the public, without giving at the same time his reasons for the renderings which he may have had to propose. In the Book of Job this would be particularly requi site, ias well on account of its acknowledged difficulty, as of the doubts found to rest on the history of Job himself.

In the first case, the style and language of the Authorised Version have been adopted as far as practicable; because these were deemed the best, both on account of their simplicity and purely English character; and because they had, from long usage, established a sort of claim to preference. And, in the second, as to the explanatory matter offered, a translator would hardly be justified in presenting a new translation of any book to the public, without giving at the same time his reasons for the renderings which he may have had to propose. In the Book of Job this would be particularly requisite, as well on account of its acknowledged difficulty, as of the doubts found to rest on the history of Job himself. The former of these will, it is hoped, be found sufficiently provided for in the Commentary appended to the Translation; the latter, in the Introduction prefixed to it. In both cases, indeed, much might have been added, which to some might have seemed no more than necessary: while to others, what is now given will probably appear too much.
