1:1 There was a man 376 in the land 776 of Uz 5780, whose name 8034 [was] Job 347; and that man 376 was perfect 8535 and upright 3477, and one that feared 3373 God 430, and eschewed 5493 8802 evil 7451.

1:2 And there were born 3205 8735 unto him seven 7651 sons 1121 and three 7969 daughters 1323.

1:3 His substance 4735 also was seven 7651 thousand 505 sheep 6629, and three 7969 thousand 505 camels 1581, and five 2568 hundred 3967 yoke 6776 of oxen 1241, and five 2568 hundred 3967 she asses 860, and a very 3966 great 7227 household 5657; so that this man 376 was the greatest 1419 of all the men 1121 of the east 6924.(substance: or, cattle)(household: or, husbandry)(men: Heb. sons)

1:4 And his sons 1121 went 1980 8804 and feasted 4960 6213 8804 [in their] houses 1004, every one 376 his day 3117; and sent 7971 8804 and called 7121 8804 for their three 7969 sisters 269 to eat 398 8800 and to drink 8354 8800 with them.

1:5 And it was so, when the days 3117 of [their] feasting 4960 were gone about 5362 8689, that Job 347 sent 7971 8799 and sanctified 6942 8762 them, and rose up early 7925 8689 in the morning 1242, and offered 5927 8689 burnt offerings 5930 [according] to the number 4557 of them all: for Job 347 said 559 8804, It may be 194 that my sons 1121 have sinned 2398 8804, and cursed 1288 8765 God 430 in their hearts 3824. Thus did 6213 8799 Job 347 continually 3117.(continually: Heb. all the days)

1:6 Now there was a day 3117 when the sons 1121 of God 430 came 935 8799 to present 3320 8692 themselves before the LORD 3068, and Satan 7854 came 935 8799 also among 8432 them.(Satan: Heb. the adversary)(among: Heb. in the midst of)

1:7 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Satan 7854, Whence 370 comest 935 8799 thou? Then Satan 7854 answered 6030 8799 the LORD 3068, and said 559 8799, From going to and fro 7751 8800 in the earth 776, and from walking up and down 1980 8692 in it.

1:8 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Satan 7854, Hast thou considered 7760 8804 3820 my servant 5650 Job 347, that [there is] none like him in the earth 776, a perfect 8535 and an upright 3477 man 376, one that feareth 3373 God 430, and escheweth 5493 8802 evil 7451?(considered: Heb. set thy heart on)

1:9 Then Satan 7854 answered 6030 8799 the LORD 3068, and said 559 8799, Doth Job 347 fear 3372 8804 God 430 for nought 2600?

1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge 7753 8804 about him, and about 1157 his house 1004, and about all that he hath on every side 5439? thou hast blessed 1288 8765 the work 4639 of his hands 3027, and his substance 4735 is increased 6555 8804 in the land 776.(substance: or, cattle)

1:11 But 199 put forth 7971 8798 thine hand 3027 now, and touch 5060 8798 all that he hath, and he will curse 1288 8762 3808 thee to thy face 6440.(and he…: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face)

1:12 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Satan 7854, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power 3027; only upon himself put not forth 7971 8799 thine hand 3027. So Satan 7854 went forth 3318 8799 from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068.(power: Heb. hand)

1:13 And there was a day 3117 when his sons 1121 and his daughters 1323 [were] eating 398 8802 and drinking 8354 8802 wine 3196 in their eldest 1060 brother's 251 house 1004:

1:14 And there came 935 8804 a messenger 4397 unto Job 347, and said 559 8799, The oxen 1241 were plowing 2790 8802, and the asses 860 feeding 7462 8802 beside 3027 them:

1:15 And the Sabeans 7614 fell 5307 8799 [upon them], and took them away 3947 8799; yea, they have slain 5221 8689 the servants 5288 with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719; and I only am escaped 4422 8735 alone to tell 5046 8687 thee.

1:16 While he [was] yet speaking 1696 8764, there came 935 8802 also another, and said 559 8799, The fire 784 of God 430 is fallen 5307 8804 from heaven 8064, and hath burned up 1197 8799 the sheep 6629, and the servants 5288, and consumed 398 8799 them; and I only am escaped 4422 8735 alone to tell 5046 8687 thee.(The fire…: or, A great fire)

1:17 While he [was] yet speaking 1696 8764, there came 935 8802 also another, and said 559 8799, The Chaldeans 3778 made out 7760 8804 three 7969 bands 7218, and fell 6584 8799 upon the camels 1581, and have carried them away 3947 8799, yea, and slain 5221 8689 the servants 5288 with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719; and I only am escaped 4422 8735 alone to tell 5046 8687 thee.(fell: Heb. rushed)

1:18 While he [was] yet speaking 1696 8764, there came 935 8802 also another, and said 559 8799, Thy sons 1121 and thy daughters 1323 [were] eating 398 8802 and drinking 8354 8802 wine 3196 in their eldest 1060 brother's 251 house 1004:

1:19 And, behold, there came 935 8804 a great 1419 wind 7307 from 5676 the wilderness 4057, and smote 5060 8799 the four 702 corners 6438 of the house 1004, and it fell 5307 8799 upon the young men 5288, and they are dead 4191 8799; and I only am escaped 4422 8735 alone to tell 5046 8687 thee.(from…: Heb. from aside, etc)

1:20 Then Job 347 arose 6965 8799, and rent 7167 8799 his mantle 4598, and shaved 1494 8799 his head 7218, and fell down 5307 8799 upon the ground 776, and worshipped 7812 8691,(mantle: or, robe)

1:21 And said 559 8799, Naked 6174 came I out 3318 8804 of my mother's 517 womb 990, and naked 6174 shall I return 7725 8799 thither: the LORD 3068 gave 5414 8804, and the LORD 3068 hath taken away 3947 8804; blessed 1288 8794 be the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.

1:22 In all this Job 347 sinned 2398 8804 not, nor charged 5414 8804 God 430 foolishly 8604.(charged…: or, attributed folly to God)
