Introduction

In the land of uz there lived a man whose name was job. This man was blameless and upright. He feared god and shunned evil. His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays. And they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, job would make arrangements for them to be purified. The lord said to satan, where have you come from? Satan answered the lord, from roaming about throughout the earth,. There is no one on earth like him. A man who fears god and shuns evil does job. Fear god for nothing.
