Beschreibung

Job is a gentile man in the Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible, as well as a prophet in Islam. In brief, the book begins with an introduction to Job's character he is described as a blessed man who lives righteously. Satan challenges Job's integrity, proposing to Yahweh that Job serves him simply because of the hedge with which God protects him. God progressively removes that protection for a bit, allowing Satan to take his wealth, his children, and his physical health and to thereby tempt Job to curse God to show that Job is a faithful man. Despite his desolation, he does not curse God's name or accuse God of injustice but rather seeks an explanation or an account of his wrongdoing by cursing his birth. The main portion of the text consists of the discourse of Job and his three friends concerning why Job was so tested, after which God steps in to answer Job and his friends. God invites Job to Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. After God's reply, Job is overwhelmed and says, I am unworthy - how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning and he lived 140 years. Besides Job, his wife, and his friends, Yahweh and Satan are the only characters, and there is no mention of the patriarchs of the nation of Israel nor any other biblical characters
