he book of Job recounts the life story of Job, who
is considered by the Bible as faultless,
God-fearing, a man who held his integrity, and
eschewed evil.
We can read in this book how God allowed Satan to
take away all of Job’s material wealth, his
children’s lives. He was also smote by Satan with
sore boils from the sole of his foot unto the crown
of his head.
The wife of Job and his friends—Eliphaz, Bildad and
Zophar—spew him unpleasant words against his faith
in God. In spite of all his sufferings and painful
experience, Job never disowned God, which in turn,
as could be read in the last part of the book,
showed how God blessed him.
It is believed by many that Moses wrote this book of
Job in the desert of Sinai in 1473 B.C.
