the job story


put on your little thinking caps. we are gonna string several thoughts together in a row.

1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

this book of job is the oldest book of the old testament. its detail is such that i wouldnt be surprised if it came in written form on the ark as opposed to oral tradition.

whats the setting? well, the land of uz, meaning the earth.

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

so the sons of god, meaning the sons of adam, gathered together to present themselves before the lord. did they fly off into space to do this? no, men presented themselves to the lord on many occasions in the bible and it was mandatory in the law of moses. they all did it with their feet on the ground.

and satan? the neandertal? well, yes, he certainly sounds like the first creation, answering to god by saying he has been doing what he was told to do.

The KJV translates Strong's H3533 in the following manner: subdue (8x), bring into subjection (3x), bring into bondage (2x), keep under (1x), force (1x).
Outline of Biblical Usage [?]

to subject, subdue, force, keep under, bring into bondage

(Qal)

to bring into bondage, make subservient

to subdue, force, violate

to subdue, dominate, tread down

(Niphal) to be subdued

treading down the earth. subduing it. going back and forth upon it. like a roaring lion. looking for opportunities.

also, the sons of god were gathered but job was not among them. job is not an adamite. he is a cainite, or perhaps a full blood neandertal. anyway, there is a reason the lord is bragging about job and a reason he is bragging to the serpent seed. the serpent seed, like they always do, makes excuses and looks for losses and gains, playing the harlot like jews and christians do. why should they do anything if they dont gain nuthin? and why, if they dont gain nuthin, would they want to have anything to do with god? they dont.

(Piel) to subdue

(Hiphil) to bring into bondage
