“Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.”
Eliphaz introduces a personal revelation by noting that a word came to him in secret, suggesting that he has received divine wisdom through some form of mystical encounter or tradition. The secretive character of this revelation implies both its special status and its validity, as if Eliphaz has been granted access to divine truth not available to ordinary perception. This appeal to private revelation establishes Eliphaz as one who has been instructed by God.
