1. Job’s Character and Wealth

   (James 5:7–12)

2. 1ENGOJBThere was an ish in Eretz Utz, shmo Iyov; and that ish was blameless and yashar, and yire Elohim, and shunned evil.BSBBSB: There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And this man was blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil.
3. 2ENGOJBAnd there were born unto him seven banim and shalosh banot.BSBBSB: He had seven sons and three daughters,
4. 3ENGOJBHis possessions also were seven thousand tzon and three thousand gemalim, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-donkeys, and very many avadim; so that this ish was the greatest of kol bnei kedem.BSBBSB: and he owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a very large number of servants. Job was the greatest man of all the people of the East.
5. 4ENGOJBAnd his banim went and held a mishteh in their bais, every one in his turn in his bais; and sent and called for their three achayot to eat and to drink with them.BSBBSB: Job’s sons would take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
6. 5ENGOJBAnd it was so, when the yamim of their mishteh were gone, that Iyov sent and set them apart as kodesh, and rose up early in the boker, and offered olot (burnt offerings) according to the mispar (number) of them all: for Iyov said, It may be that my banim have sinned, and cursed Elohim in their hearts. Thus did Iyov kol hayamim.BSBBSB: And when the days of feasting were over, Job would send for his children to purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

9. 7ENGOJBAnd Hashem said unto HaSatan, From where comest thou? Then HaSatan answered Hashem, and said, From roaming to and fro in ha'aretz, and from walking up and down in it.BSBBSB: “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
10. 8ENGOJBAnd Hashem said unto HaSatan, Hast thou considered in thy heart avdi Iyov, that there is none like him in ha'aretz, a perfect and a yashar ish, yire Elohim, and shunneth evil?BSBBSB: Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil.”
11. 9ENGOJBThen HaSatan answered Hashem, and said, Is Iyov a yire Elohim (G-d fearer) for nothing?BSBBSB: Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
12. 10ENGOJBHast not Thou made a hedge about him, and about his bais, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the ma'aseh (work) of his hands, and his possessions are increased in ha'aretz.BSBBSB: Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
13. 11ENGOJBBut put forth Thine yad now, and strike all that he hath, and he will curse Thee to Thy face.BSBBSB: But stretch out Your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
14. 12ENGOJBAnd Hashem said unto HaSatan, Hinei, all that he hath is in thy yad; only upon himself put not forth thine yad. So HaSatan went out from the presence of Hashem.BSBBSB: “Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
