“And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.”
Eliphaz promises that Job will know that his tent is safe and that he will visit his dwelling and find nothing amiss, suggesting a restoration of domestic security and familial peace. The image of the tent as secure and the dwelling as peaceful invokes the possibility of the restoration of what has been lost. The promise becomes increasingly personal and specific, moving from cosmic principles to concrete domestic restoration.
