This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Either,



1. If thou hast in thine hand or possession any good, got by injury or oppression, as it seems they supposed that he had. Or,



2. More generally, If thou allowest thyself in any sinful practices. The hand is put for action, whereof it is the instrument.



Put it far away; keep thyself at a great distance, not only from such actions, but also from the very occasions and appearances of them.



Let not wickedness dwell, let it not have a quiet and settled abode, or allowance, in thy habitation, i.e. either in thyself, or in thy family; whose sins Job was obliged as far as he could to prevent or reform; as he had done, Job_1:5. He saith



tabernacles, because anciently the habitations of great men consisted of several tents or tabernacles, as we see, Gen_24:67 31:33.
