"To whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them." Eliphaz seems to refer to the patriarchal past when the righteous alone possessed the land, undisturbed by foreigners. The isolation of the righteous from the wicked is presented as historical norm. This verse establishes a golden age in which the moral order was uncorrupted by mixing of righteous and wicked.
