Job 1:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 1:3

Job and His Family in Uz

1 There was a man ^ain the land of Uz, whose name was ^bJob; and that man was ^cblameless and upright, and one who ^dfeared God and shunned evil.

2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.

3 Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the¹ people of the East.

4 And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and¹ sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning ^aand offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and ^bcursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.
