Job and His Friends by Ilya Repin (1869) The Hebrew Book of Job is part of Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew Bible. Not much is known about Job based on the Masoretic Text. The characters in the Book of Job consist of Job, his wife, his three friends (Bildad, Eliphaz, and Zophar), a man named Elihu, God, and angels.
A scroll of the Book of Job, in Hebrew. The Book of Job consists of a prose prologue and epilogue narrative framing poetic dialogues and monologues. [4] It is common to view the narrative frame as the original core of the book, enlarged later by the poetic dialogues and discourses, and sections of the book such as the Elihu speeches and the wisdom poem of chapter 28 as late insertions, but ...
Bildad believes that suffering is punishment, so the death of Job's children is proof that they have sinned (verse 4–7). [17] The source of Bildad's argument is the long-held traditions, those searched out by former generations and appeared to have stood the test of time (verses 8–10).

Jemimah's sisters are named Keziah and Keren-Happuch. Job's sons, in contrast, are ...
Although quick-witted, and quick to respond, Eliphaz loses his composure in chapter 22, in the third and final round of speeches, accusing Job of specific faults, "sins against justice and charity towards others": [11] oppressing widows and orphans, refusing bread to the hungry: a far cry from how he had originally described Job in his first address to him:
Job with his three daughters by William Blake. Keren-happuch (Hebrew: קֶרֶן הַפּוּךְ Qeren Hapūḵ, Hebrew pronunciation: [ˈqeren hapˈpux], "Horn of kohl") was the youngest of the three beautiful daughters of Job, named in the Bible as given to him in the later part of his life, after God made Job prosperous again.
"Job": the mention of his name in the Book of Ezekiel chapter 14 in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and the Epistle of James chapter 5 in the New Testament of Christian Bibles argues for the historicity of the person, but without any supports from non-biblical ancient documents, he is regarded as a legendary character.
