‏ Job 37:9

Verse 9. Out of the south cometh the whirlwind] See Clarke on Job 9:9. What is rendered south here, is there rendered chambers. Mr. Good translates here, the utmost zone. The Chaldee:-"From the supreme chamber the commotion shall come; and from the cataracts of Arcturus the cold." What the whirlwind, suphah, is, we know not. It might have been a wind peculiar to that district; and it is very possible that it was a scorching wind, something like the simoom.

‏ Job 38:32

Verse 32. Mazzaroth in his season?] This is generally understood to mean the signs of the zodiac. Mazzaroth, according to Parkhurst, comes from mazar, to corrupt; and he supposes it to mean that pestilential wind in Arabia, called simoom, the season of which is the summer heats.
