# Job 01 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter introduces a story about a man named Job who lives during a time long before the author.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Wealth
|
||||
Job is very rich. During his time, a man's wealth is measured by the number of animals he owns. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Feasts
|
||||
Job is a very godly man and celebrates Yahweh's provision by having feasts. It must be remembered that Job lives prior to the law of Moses, so his religious practices are different than the Hebrew people after Moses. The events of this book occur about the same time as the life of Abraham. Therefore, this book corresponds more with Genesis 12-50 than the rest of the Old Testament. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/godly]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Job's faith
|
||||
Satan believes that Job's faith is based on Yahweh's blessings. He challenges Yahweh to remove these blessings from Job's life because he thinks that Job will no longer trust in Yahweh if this happens. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/bless]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust]])

# Job 02 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter repeats the concepts of the previous chapter, but this time it is more severe. After losing his wealth, Job's health is taken from him. His wife also begins to encourage Job to sin by cursing Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/curse]])

|
||||
|
||||
#### Sickness and sin
|
||||
In the ancient Near East, it was common to believe that a person's illness was caused by sin. It was seen as the punishment of a god. While Yahweh may punish people because of their sin, not all sicknesses are caused by sin. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/believe]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Job 14 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. This chapter is a continuation of Job's claim of righteousness being presented to Yahweh. It also has an abrupt shift in tone. Rather than being hopeful, Job laments. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/righteous]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lament]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resurrection
|
||||
The events of Job occurred long before the Old Testament was written. Therefore, he likely had very little direct revelation about Yahweh. The resurrection of the dead was apparently not well-known during Job's day. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/reveal]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rhetorical questions
|
||||
Job uses many different rhetorical questions in this chapter in his appeal to Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# Job 16 General Notes
|
||||

||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. This chapter is Job's response to Eliphaz.

|

### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Job's response
|
||||
Job expresses shock and disgust at the advice Eliphaz gives to him. He even mocks Eliphaz. He describes the difficulties of his circumstances but never curses Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/curse]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Advocate
|
||||
Job describes the need for someone to intercede for him in heaven. This person would be his advocate and provide a witness for him. Although this is probably not intended as a prophecy, it closely parallels the way Jesus intercedes for people in heaven. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/intercede]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/heaven]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/testimony]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]])

There are many metaphors used in this chapter. Zophar uses them to explain the temporary nature of life and riches. He also uses them to describe God's punishment of Job. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# Job 21 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. This chapter is Job's response to Zophar. It is also a response to all three of his friends in general.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ancestor's sin
|
||||
In the ancient Near East, it was common to believe that a person could be punished because of the sins of their fathers and ancestors. It was seen as the punishment of a god. While a father's sin may have consequences for their children, Yahweh does not punish people because of their father's sin. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/believe]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rhetorical questions
|
||||
Job uses many different rhetorical questions in this chapter in order to try to convince Zophar that he is wrong. These questions help to build Job's argument. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. This chapter is a continuation of the advice of Job's friend, Bildad. His words in this chapter are much stronger than when he previously spoke.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### God's holiness and man's sin
|
||||
Bildad describes the holiness of Yahweh and the universal nature of man's sinfulness. While his points are accurate, they are not convincing for Job because he has been righteous. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/holy]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/righteous]])
|
||||

### Structure and formatting

|
||||

|
||||

This chapter begins a section continuing through chapter 31.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh's power
|
||||
While Bildad describes Yahweh's power as being so much greater than Job's, Job understands the true extent of Yahweh's power. It is not just over Job's life, but over all of creation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Sarcasm
|
||||
Job uses sarcasm in this chapter. This is the use of irony to insult Bildad. (See: [Job 1-4](./01.md) and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony]])

### Structure and formatting
|

|
||||
Job's friends give up on trying to convince him that he is being punished for sinning. This chapter introduces Elihu who was a witness to these interactions between Job and his friends. According to Elihu, instead of being punished for his sins, Job is sinning in the midst of these difficulties. This is the first of Elihu's four statements. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/testimony]])
|
||||
|
||||
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers, or songs. The ULB and many other English translations set the lines of 32:6-22, which is an extended quotation, farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text. This quotation continues through the next chapter.

The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. Yahweh continues to speak in this chapter.

### Special concepts in this chapter
|

#### Yahweh's greatness
|
||||
Yahweh is far greater than any man. He is the creator of the earth, and his ways will not always be understood by men because their knowledge is always limited. Since Job cannot understand creation, he cannot truly understand Yahweh.
|
||||
|

### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|

#### Rhetorical questions
|
||||
Yahweh uses a series of rhetorical questions in this chapter in order to defend his character. Many of these questions focus on nature because Yahweh is the creator of the heavens and the earth. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/heaven]])

# Job 40 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers, or songs. The ULB and many other English translations set the lines of 40:1-2, 4-5, 7-24, which are extended quotations of Job and Yahweh, farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Job's righteousness
|
||||
In seeking to defend his own righteousness, Job accuses Yahweh of being unjust. Yahweh asks a very important question: "Will you condemn me so you may claim you are right?" This is the essence of Job's error.
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Irony
|
||||
Yahweh states, "He who argues with God, let him answer." Job immediately answers him. This is irony. While Job is forced to acknowledge the power of Yahweh, he does not repent of his former statements. Because of this, Yahweh asks him more questions. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]])

There are several animals mentioned in this chapter that do not exist and may never have existed. It may be necessary to leave these names untranslated or to translate their names as adjectives.

|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers, or songs. The ULB and many other English translations set the lines of this chapter, which is an extended quotation of Yahweh, farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text. It is a continuation of the previous chapter.
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rhetorical questions
|
||||
Yahweh uses a series of rhetorical questions in this chapter in order to defend his character and to convince Job to repent. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]])

# Job 42 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers, or songs. The ULB and many other English translations set the lines of 42:1-6, which is an extended quotation of Job, farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text.
|
||||
|
||||
In this chapter Job shows his complete trust in Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Justice
|
||||
Yahweh enacts justice at the end of this book. He punishes Job's friends and restores Job's blessings. Yahweh's blessing was not dependent upon Job's repentance, but upon Yahweh's grace. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/restore]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/bless]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/grace]])

# Introduction to Job
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 1: General Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
### Outline of Job
|
||||
|
||||
1. Job is introduced (1:1–2:13)
|
||||
- Job is blameless and wealthy (1:1–5)
|
||||
- Yahweh allows Satan to test Job (1:6–2:10)
|
||||
1. Three friends speak to Job (3:1–14:22)
|
||||
- Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar
|
||||
- Job replies to each
|
||||
1. They speak to him again (15:1–21:34)
|
||||
- Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar
|
||||
- Job replies to each
|
||||
1. They speak a third time (22:1–31:40)
|
||||
- Eliphaz and Bildad
|
||||
- Job replies to each
|
||||
1. Elihu speaks to Job (32:1–37:24)
|
||||
1. Yahweh answers Job out of the whirlwind (38:1–41:34)
|
||||
1. Job is humbled before Yahweh (42:1–6)
|
||||
1. Yahweh rebukes Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar (42:7–9)
|
||||
1. Yahweh prospers Job again (42:10–17)
|
||||
|
||||
### What is the Book of Job about?
|
||||
|
||||
The Book of Job is about a man named Job who experienced disaster even though he was faithful to Yahweh. Job speaks with three friends and asks why Yahweh lets him experience trials and losses. The book teaches that we cannot understand all of Yahweh's ways, and when we suffer, it is more important to trust Yahweh than it is to understand the reason for the suffering.
|
||||
|
||||
### How should the title of this book be translated?
|
||||
|
||||
The Book of Job is named for Job, the main character in the book. His name is not related to the English word "job." Translators might use the traditional title of "The Book of Job" or just "Job." Or they may choose a clearer title, such as "The Book About Job" or "The Book About a Man Named Job."
|
||||
|
||||
### Who wrote the Book of Job?
|
||||
|
||||
We do not know who wrote the Book of Job. Many people suggest that Moses composed or compiled the book, but it may have been written after the time of Moses.
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Does sin cause suffering?
|
||||
|
||||
When a person sins against Yahweh, it can cause the person to experience suffering. People in the ancient Near East generally believed that a person suffered because they or their ancestors sinned against God. This is what many religions teach. However, the Book of Job shows that a person may suffer even if he or she has not sinned. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Were Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar really Job's friends?
|
||||
|
||||
Job 2:11 refers to Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar as the friends of Job. But they did not comfort Job. Instead, they tried to persuade Job to say something about God that Job believed was not true. So we might wonder if it is right to translate the word as "friends." They did care about Job and they wanted to help him. However, what they said did not help Job because they did not understand the truth about God.
|
||||
|
||||
### When did the events in the Book of Job take place?
|
||||
|
||||
We do not know when the events in the Book of Job took place. It seems to be set around the time of Abraham and Isaac in the Book of Genesis. However, some verses are similar to ones in the Books of Proverbs and Isaiah, which are set much later.
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 3: Important Translation Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### What style of writing is in the Book of Job?
|
||||
|
||||
The writer starts and ends the Book of Job by telling what happened to Job in narrative form. He wrote the other parts in poetry form. In the ancient Near East, writers often used poetry to discuss matters of wisdom.
|
||||
|
||||
### Is the Book of Job difficult to translate?
|
||||
|
||||
The Book of Job has many uncommon words and phrases, making parts of it hard to understand translate. For this reason, translators may decide to translate this book after they have translated other books of the Bible. However, since the writer did not connect Job with a specific time or place in history, the translator may decide to translate this book before other Old Testament books.

|

### Type of psalm
|
||||
|
||||
Psalm 9 is a psalm of praise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh's protection
|
||||
God is a protector. He is all-powerful and his enemies cannot withstand him.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Acrostic Psalm
|
||||
|
||||
This psalm along with Psalm 10 form an acrostic. Which means that each unit begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
|
||||
|
||||
#### One Psalm or two
|
||||
|
||||
This psalm has a superscription but Psalm 10 doesn't. This fact and the acrostic nature of the two psalms has lead some scholars to believe these two psalms may have originally been written as one psalm.

# Psalm 010 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Type of psalm
|
||||
|
||||
Psalm 10 is a psalm of deliverance. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/deliverer]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Evil people
|
||||
The wicked people are prospering and think that God does not care. They think that he is not involved in these affairs. They destroy the innocent. The godly need God to come to their rescue and to punish the wicked people for the evil that they are doing to the good people. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/evil]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/innocent]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/godly]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/good]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Second half of Psalm 9
|
||||
|
||||
As noted in the intro to the last psalm, this one is part of an acrostic poem. This psalm covers the last half on the Hebrew alphabet. It also does not have a superscription to introduce it. However, the psalms do separate well on the subjects they address. One addresses thanksgiving and praise whereas Psalm 10 is a lament. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lament]])

# Psalm 013 General Notes

#### Yahweh's help
|
||||
The author needs God to help him because his enemies will rejoice if they are able to defeat him. The string of rhetorical questions is very effective at heightening the fear David is feeling. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fear]])

# Psalm 016 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Type of psalm
|
||||
|
||||
Psalm 16 is a psalm of praise, thanking God for all his mercies. The New Testament considers this psalm to be a messianic psalm: a psalm about Christ. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/mercy]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Messiah
|
||||
God has been so good to the psalmist, who will worship no other god. The New Testament considers the tenth verse to be about Christ's resurrection when it says that he is God's anointed one, and that God will not leave his body in the grave to decay. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/good]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/resurrection]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/anoint]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Superscription
|
||||
The term "Michtam" is used in the superscription for this psalm. There is much discussion about this term, but in the end no one is certain what it means. So it is easiest to transliterate this word into your language, or you are welcome to translate it as "psalm."
