  • Job 1:1-5 : 1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and turned away from evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters born to him. 3 His wealth consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household. He was the greatest man among all the people of the east. 4 His sons would take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When the days of feasting were over, Job would send for them and consecrate them. Rising early in the morning, he would offer burnt offerings for each of them, thinking, 'Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.' Job did this regularly.
