“Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.”
Eliphaz promises that Job will know that his offspring will be many and his descendants like the grass of the earth, suggesting the restoration of fertility and the renewal of his family line. The promise of numerous offspring echoes the original blessings of Job and invites him to imagine their restoration. The image of descendants like grass of the earth suggests abundance and proliferation.
