shouted

Ezra 3:11,12
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; becausehe is good, for his mercyendureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid…

Zechariah 4:7
Whoart thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabelthou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstonethereof with shoutings,crying, Grace, grace unto it.

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
The "sons of God" is a term often used in the Old Testament to refer to angels, as seen inJob 1:6 andJob 2:1. These beings are depicted as witnesses to God's creative acts, expressing their joy and approval. The phrase "shouted for joy" indicates a spontaneous and overwhelming response to the majesty of God's creation. This reflects the cultural context of the time, where communal expressions of joy were common in celebrations. Theologically, this scene underscores the idea that all of creation, both physical and spiritual, acknowledges and rejoices in God's sovereignty and creative power. This anticipates the ultimate restoration of creation, where all will once again recognize and celebrate God's glory, as prophesied in passages likeIsaiah 35:10.

• The word “while” ties verse 7 to the earlier creation questions inJob 38:4–6, pinpointing the exact moment God “laid the foundations of the earth.”

• It reminds us that God is recounting events Job never witnessed (cf.Genesis 1:1;Proverbs 8:27–29).

• The timing underscores God’s eternal perspective and absolute authority—He was there; we weren’t (seeJob 38:21).

•Job 38:7: “while the morning stars sang together…”

• Literal stars burst into view at dawn’s first light, so “morning stars” evokes the earliest, pristine phase of creation (Genesis 1:14–18).

• Scripture often pictures stars as majestic witnesses to God’s glory (Psalm 19:1;Isaiah 40:26).

•Revelation 22:16 calls Jesus “the Bright Morning Star,” linking brilliance with divine splendor.

• Whether referring to luminous celestial bodies or, poetically, to angelic beings radiating like stars (cf.Daniel 12:3), the emphasis is on created splendor responding to its Maker.

• Their unified song portrays perfect harmony in creation—no discord, only praise.

•Psalm 148:3–5 invites sun, moon, and stars to “praise Him,” echoing this scene.

• Music marks key biblical moments of divine action: the Red Sea crossing (Exodus 15:1), the incarnation (Luke 2:13–14), and the heavenly throne room (Revelation 5:9–12).

• The verse affirms that worship is woven into the fabric of the universe; creation itself audibly honored God’s handiwork.

• “…and all the sons of God shouted for joy.”

• InJob 1:6 and 2:1 the same phrase clearly speaks of angels gathering before the LORD.

• Angels are presented as distinct, personal beings—ministering spirits who rejoice in God’s work (Hebrews 1:14;Luke 15:10).

• “All” stresses that no heavenly being held back; every angelic host celebrated the Creator’s wisdom and power.

• The angels’ response was not subdued but exuberant. “Shouted” conveys a loud, triumphant cry, the kind heard when God’s glory fills the temple (2 Chronicles 5:13) or when Jesus enters Jerusalem (Luke 19:37–40).

• Joy is the fitting reaction to God’s flawless creation, a theme repeated when He declares it “very good” (Genesis 1:31).

•Revelation 5:11–12 pictures countless angels lifting similar joyful acclaim around the completed redemptive plan, bookending Scripture with heavenly praise at both creation and consummation.

Job 38:7 reveals a cosmic worship service at the dawn of time: newly formed stars gleaming like a sunrise choir, and every angelic being raising a unified, jubilant shout. The verse underscores God’s unmatched role as Creator, the inherent glory of His handiwork, and the rightness of responding to Him with wholehearted praise.
