Book of Job information


Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 3522: dated to the 1st century AD, it contains part of Job 42 translated into Greek.

The Book of Job (/b/; Biblical Hebrew: אִיּוֹב, romanized: ʾĪyyōḇ), or simply Job, is a book found in the Ketuvim ("Writings") section of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the first of the Poetic Books in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1] Scholars generally agree that it was written between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE.[2] It addresses theodicy (why God permits evil in the world) through the experiences of the eponymous protagonist.[3] Job is a wealthy and God-fearing man with a comfortable life and a large family. God asks Satan (הַשָּׂטָן, haśśāṭān, 'lit.'the adversary'') for his opinion of Job's piety. When Satan states that Job would turn away from God if he were rendered penniless, without his family, and materially uncomfortable, God allows him to do so. The rest of the book deals with Job successfully defending himself against his unsympathetic friends, whom God admonishes, and God's sovereignty over nature.
