1
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was
Iyov; 4031 and that man was perfect and tzadik, one that
feared Elohim, and turned aside from evil.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three
daughters.
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, and
three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen,
and five hundred female donkeys, and a very great bayit
with avadim; so that this man was the greatest of all the
men of the east. 4032
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every
one on his own day; 4033 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
over, that Iyov sent for them and set them apart, and rose
up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings
according to their number: for Iyov said, It may be that my
sons have sinned and cursed Elohim in their levim. 4034 This
did Iyov continually.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of Elohim 4035
came to present themselves before vuvh, and s.a.tan came
also among them.
7 And vuvh said to s.a.tan, From where are you coming?
Then s.a.tan answered vuvh, and said, From going to and
fro on the earth, 4036 and from walking up and down in it.
8 And vuvh said to s.a.tan, Have you considered My eved
Iyov, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and
a tzadik man, one that fears Elohim, and turns away from
evil?
9 Then s.a.tan answered vuvh, and said, Does Iyov fear
Elohim for nothing?
10 Have not You made a hedge about him, and about his
bayit, and about all that he has on every side? You have
blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions are
increased in the land.
11 But put forth Your hand now, and touch all that he has,
and he will curse You to Your face. 4037
12 And vuvh said to s.a.tan, See, all that he has is in your
hand; only against his chayim do not put forth your hand.
So s.a.tan went forth from the shechinah of vuvh.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters
were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s
bayit:
14 And there came a messenger to Iyov, and said, The
oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them:
15 And the robbers fell on them, and took them away;
yes, they have slain the avadim with the edge of the
sword; and only I have escaped to tell you.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another,
and said, The fire from Elohim has fallen from the
shamayim, and has burned up the sheep, and the avadim,
and consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another,
and said, The Chaldeans came out with three companies,
and fell on the camels, and have carried them away, yes,
and slain the avadim with the edge of the sword; and I
alone have escaped to tell you.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another,
and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and

drinking wine in their eldest brother’s bayit:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the
wilderness, and smote the four corners of the bayit, and it
fell on the young men, and they are dead; and I alone
have escaped to tell you.
20 Then Iyov arose, and tore his mantle, and shaved his
head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my eema’s womb, and
naked shall I return there: vuvh gave, and vuvh has taken
away: Barchu-et-Shem-vuvh.
22 In all this Iyov did not sin, nor charge Elohim
foolishly.
Again there was a day when the sons of Elohim 4038
came to present themselves before vuvh, and s.a.tan came
also among them to present himself before vuvh.
2 And vuvh said to s.a.tan, From where have you come?
And s.a.tan answered vuvh, and said, From going to and
fro on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 And vuvh said to s.a.tan, Have you considered My eved
Iyov, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect
and a tzadik man, one that fears Elohim, and turns away
from evil? And still he holds fast his integrity, even
though you moved Me against him, to destroy him without
a cause.
4 And s.a.tan answered vuvh, and said, Skin for skin, all
that a man has will he give for his chayim.
5 But put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and
his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face.
6 And vuvh said to s.a.tan, See, he is in your hand; but
spare his chayim.
7 So s.a.tan went forth from the shechinah of vuvh, and
smote Iyov with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his
head.
8 And he took him pottery pieces to scrape himself with;
and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Then said his wife to him; Do you still retain your
integrity? Curse Elohim, and die!
10 But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish
women speaks. What? Shall we receive tov from Elohim,
and not receive evil? In all this Iyov did not sin with his
lips.
11 Now when Iyov’s three chaverim heard of all this evil
that had come on him, they came everyone from his own
place; Elifaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and
Tzofar the Na’amathite: for they had made an
appointment together to come to mourn with him and to
comfort him.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes far off, and did not
recognize him, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and
they tore every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust on their
heads toward the shamayim.
13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days
and seven nights, 4039 2
and none spoke a word to him: for
they saw that his grief was very great.
3
After this opened Iyov his mouth, and cursed his
birthday.
2 And Iyov spoke, and said,
