NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A man named Job lived in Uz. He was a man of integrity! He was decent, he respected God, and he stayed away from evil. ² He had seven sons and three daughters. ³ He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, one thousand head of cattle, and five hundred donkeys. He also had a large number of servants. In fact he was the greatest (richest) of all the Orientals in the East! ⁴ Job's sons used to take turns giving a feast. They invited many others to come, and they always invited their three sisters to join them. ⁵ The morning after each feast, Job would get up early to offer sacrifices for each of his children in order to purify them. He always did this because he thought that one of them might have sinned by insulting God unintentionally.
