Job 38:12 | MHM | STEP | Works of God In this section, God continues to question Job with many difficult questions. These questions are meant to show Job how little he really knows about the world. God asks Job about things like the morning, the sea, death, the size of the earth, light and darkness, and even snow and hail. All these wonders show that God’s wisdom and power are far beyond human understanding. v. 12–15 : God asks, Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place? (Job 38:12 ). God reminds Job that he cannot control the sunrise or the coming of daylight. The morning light comes by God’s command, not by human power. The light spreads over the earth like a garment, making everything visible. This light also exposes evil deeds and brings justice, shaking the wicked out of their hiding places (Job 38:13–15; Psalm 19:1

v. 12–15: God asks, Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place? (Job 38:12 ^a). God reminds Job that he cannot control the sunrise or the coming of daylight. The morning light comes by God’s command, not by human power. The light spreads over the earth like a garment, making everything visible. This light also exposes evil deeds and brings justice, shaking the wicked out of their hiding places (Job 38:13–15; Psalm 19:1–2 ^b).
