Malbim on Job

After the initial act of Creation, God instituted new and special laws of Nature in order to change the properties of the primeval Earth. Job argues that this shows that God, when He so wishes, can exercise His rule over the Earth. And so, if He wished, He could now call upon the nether elements - ‘shades’ - such as Sheol and Abadon, which are in no way linked to the motions of the Cosmos, in order to punish the wicked, as had happened at the time of the Flood; but He chooses not to. Job maintains that the fact that He does not exercise this power shows that government of the Earth has been ceded to the Governance of the Cosmos.9Malbim makes repeated reference in all his commentaries to what he calls the 'law of expansion - חוק ההתפשטות', by whose invocation the original nature of the element water to blanket the element earth was altered. As he writes: At the beginning of Creation, planet Earth was completely covered by water, for it is the nature of the element water to envelope the element earth just as the element air envelopes the element water. And God altered this nature and decreed that the water should be gathered to one place. The universal law that God ordained to change the nature of the water is the force of expansion that He established in the air. For initially, the element air was mixed with the element water and it was by virtue of the law of the force of expansion in the air that vapors were separated from the water by the light created on the first day. They rose upwards forming the firmament: the atmosphere, the mists and the clouds...And this law has no link with the Cosmos, for it was invoked after the first Creation.
Malbim also offers an alternative interpretation of these two verses, according to which the 'shades' are not instruments of divine punishment through which the Cosmos could be side-stepped, but are the dead and buried.. This interpretation gives the translation: Can the buried dead be resurrected from beneath the waters and their abodes? For Sheol is naked before Him and Abadon has no clothing.
Spirits cannot be recast in bodies and so they cannot be brought back to receive reward or punishment; in 'shades', and refers to the Titans of Greek mythology hurled down into the abyss Tartarus by their father Uranus and subsequently released from there by their mother Gaea and brother Chronos. Malbim does not suggest that giants had not lived in ancient times, there are numerous references to them in the Tnach, but that the myth of their resurrection is just that - a myth.
