“The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.”
Zophar notes that the measure of divine understanding is longer than the earth and broader than the sea, extending the cosmic imagery to suggest the immensity of divine knowledge. The earth and sea, which seemed infinite to ancient peoples, are dwarfed by the measure of God's understanding. The comparison establishes the vast disproportion between human and divine knowledge.
