Do we have a copy of that text, the Septuagint, or has it disappeared?

What manuscript was this taken from if you don't mind my asking? The reason I ask is because James Ussher ascribed a date of 1656 AM----2348 BC

Elihu was also from the family line of Judah. Peter wasn't a priest, but he would not have anything to do with outsiders. But when Peter was sent to an outsider by God, what did he do?

Nebuchadnezzar was a servant of God, but he wasn't under the law. Cyrus was the Anointed of God, but he wasn't under the law.

No, it does not make Job an Edomite, but perhaps it is one of those small puzzle pieces that when all pieced together brings clarity. Perhaps the author wants to see if we care enough to put a little effort out. You said, Eliphaz was a Temanite. That makes the book no earlier than the 17th...

Sorry about that. The confusion was mine. I was thinking of the book of Lamentations instead of Job.

You are right they are not the same word. H941 Buzi is the father of Ezekiel. H940 Buzite means sprung from Buzi. Elihu is a descendant of Buzi. Maybe Ezekiel is an uncle to Elihu? Why is it impossible that Elihu might be in the lineage of Aaron? Elihu said, Job 33:6 Behold, I am according...

Jeremiah did not identify Job as an Edomite. Jeremiah was merely the writer and not the author. Eliphaz was a Temanite, a descendant of Teman, who was the grandson of Esau and a duke of Edom

If Job was an Edomite, as was Eliphaz, they would not mention a law that they were not under.

It was the blue letter bible which referenced the Gesenius. It connected buzite meaning from buz between Elihu's father and Ezekiel's father. בּוּזִי Strongs 940 בּוּזִי Strongs 941

The Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon makes a connection between the descendance of Elihu's father and the father of Ezekiel. Another problem you have is that you have to change Ram to Aram. Two different Hebrew words. The biggest problem I see is the connection of Job to Israel as seen in...

No. I believe he was contemporary with Daniel, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

Maybe, but it was the 6th century B.C. that Job was living in it.

Pilgrimshope greetings, The book of Lamentations has "the land of Uz" per verse Lam 4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. The book of Jeremiah has "the land...

Thank you for replying. In doing a word search on the book of Job you will find that an amazing amount of the words do not occur in use prior to the book of Job, and prior to the book of Psalms. This would be consistent with a date of the seventh century B.C. or later. The Jews would have a...

God does not put idle words in his letters to us. The bible is like a very complex puzzle with thousands of very small pieces. The pieces are scattered within the 66 books. The bible is its own dictionary. Without putting all the pieces together we will never have a clear picture. God says...

I would guess his named was changed to Israel because he was now to represent a nation, just as Esau's name became Edom.

The author is Elihu and the date is sometime after Babylon conquered Israel, and yes Job was not saved until the end of the book.

I would assume he is talking about Moses and his birth as found in Exodus Chapter 2. Exo 2:2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

It is exactly what I believe. I Previously stated that I made some statements that were not accurate. I apologize. I do not always express myself correctly.
