10)[line 24]פנינהPENINAH
Peninah was one of the wives of Elkanah, the father of the prophet Shmuel. She had a number of children, whereas Elkanah's other wife, Chanah, had none. Peninah taunted Chanah, making her even more distraught, so that Chanah would pray even more fervently and merit a child. Eventually, Chanah gave birth to the prophet Shmuel and a number of other children. With each child born to Chanah, two of Peninah's children died as punishment for her taunting. (Even though her intentions were l'Shem Shamayim, for Chanah's benefit, since they nevertheless caused Chanah to suffer, Peninah was punished, as in all cases of sins Bein Adam l'Chaveiro - SICHOS MUSAR by RAV CHAYIM SHMUELEVITZ). Peninah begged Chanah to forgive her and pray for her, and the last two children of Peninah survived.

(a)The Midrash, based on the verse (Shmuel I 2:5), "... until the barren one bore seven and the one with many children mourned," explains that Chanah actually gave birth to another six children (four in reality, as we will now explain), besides Shmuel. She gave birth to another two boys and two girls, and each time she bore a child, two of Peninah's children died. When she bore her fifth child, Peninah fell at her feet and pleaded with her to have mercy on her. Her remaining two children lived, but they were considered Chanah's, hence the six children.
(b)The above is the opinion of Rebbi Nechemyah. According to Rebbi Yehudah, Shmuel remained Chanah's only child, and "seven" refers to her grandchildren. "Others" (Rebbi Nasan) points out that "Shivah" refers to Shmuel, whose numerical value it shares.

He then arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces, and placed them on the wood]" (Melachim I 18:32) (ELIYAHU AND THE PROPHETS OF BA'AL)
(a)When the wicked King Ach'av referred to Eliyahu ha'Navi as "Ocher Yisrael" (one who destroys Israel) for having decreed a famine in the land, the latter arranged a confrontation with the 850 prophets of the idols Ba'al and Asheirah on Mount Carmel. All of Yisrael was invited to witness the event, at which Eliyahu intended to demonstrate to Yisrael that HaSh-m is the true G-d.
(b)Eliyahu addressed Yisrael and challenged them to make up their minds, whether to worship HaSh-m or Ba'al. He brought out two bulls, one of which the prophets of Ba'al would choose, leaving him with the other. Both parties would then prepare an altar and firewood, on which they would place their cut-up bull as a sacrifice. Each party would then beseech his god to send fire from Heaven and consume their animal. The G-d Who would respond would prove Himself to be the true G-d.
(c)The entire morning, up until close to Minchah time, accompanied by the taunts of Eliyahu, the prophets of Ba'al ranted and raved, pranced on their altar, and, in their frenzy, even cut themselves in an attempt to arouse their god, but to no avail. Eliyahu then called upon Yisrael to watch carefully. He began by rebuilding a Mizbe'ach that King Shaul had once built (and the idolaters had demolished), and by digging a ditch around it. Then, after cutting up the bull and placing it on the wood which he had arranged on the altar, he ordered four large jugs of water to be poured over the animal and the wood. The people did so, and the water flowed into the ditch and filled it.
(d)It was at Minchah time that he finished his preparations and prayed to HaSh-m to answer his prayers and show the people that He is G-d. As he finished his prayer, a fire descended from Heaven and burned the bull, together with the wood and the stones of the altar, and it even licked the water in the ditch and dried it up. The people understood the message and announced unanimously, "HaSh-m is G-d!"

(Iyov 42:7) (IYOV'S FRIENDS ARE FOUND GUILTY)
(a)HaSh-m takes Elifaz and his two friends (Bildad ha'Shuchi and Tzofar ha'Na'amasi) to task for attributing Iyov's suffering to his sins, when in fact it was merely a test at the hands of the Satan. Iyov, on the other hand, may have claimed that "HaSh-m destroys the righteous together with the wicked." This, in turn, Iyov ascribed to the theory that HaSh-m had left the running of the world to the "Ma'areches ha'Shamayim" (the Mazalos), thereby bringing suffering upon Iyov. While in obvious pain, Iyov declared that a person cannot be taken to task for what he says in his suffering. This also explains why, in spite of his blasphemous words, HaSh-m nevertheless referred to him as "My servant."
(b)In any event, Iyov's three friends were finally proven wrong in their assessment of Iyov. Consequently, their accusations served only to add to his suffering instead of consoling him in his bitter suffering like Elihu did.
(c)HaSh-m ordered them to take seven bulls and seven rams and to go with them to Iyov. They were to bring them as sacrifices to atone for their sin. HaSh-m assured them that He would accept their Korban, provided that Iyov would pray on their behalf. They followed HaSh-m's instructions, and HaSh-m accepted Iyov's prayer on their behalf and forgave them.

(a)In the preceding verses, Iyov was blessed with double of what he had previously. The sole exception was daughters, where the additional blessing manifested itself in their beauty, rather than in their numbers. In fact, their names reflected their beauty: The first was pure and white like the day, the second was as fragrant as the Ketzi'ah spice, and the third shone like a "Puch."
(b)The Sefer ends by telling us that Iyov, who was seventy at the time that he was stricken, lived for another 140 years. He lived to see four generations of offspring, and he died an old, satiated man.
