What happened to Jobs family in the Bible
Just as god allowed joseph's brothers to sell him into slavery in egypt, god sometimes permits those motivated by hate to inflict temporary harm.Job died because, as a descendant of adam, he was a sinner as are the rest of us who also deserve death.We would have handled the whole situation with job differently.All of job's children were partying there and were killed.Job's oldest son's home was destroyed by a violent wind.
This man was blameless and upright;Simultaneously, job suffered the loss of seven sons and three daughters.Their overarching belief was that job was suffering because he had done something wrong.It is mention in the end that job prayed for his friends (42:10) but job didn't prayed his wife.Satan accused job of honoring god only because god had blessed him.
There, it states that job dwelt in ausitis on the confines of idumea and arabia.(42:13) from the same wife.The book of job calls christians to trust in the lord humbly.A synonym of patience is longsuffering, and it is a lifelong endeavor.His entire wealth and livelihood were wiped out in one afternoon.
Job's friends thought he was suffering because of his own sin, but they were wrong.Though it is hard and rare, it is not impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.The bible asserts that nowhere in the land were women as beautiful as job's daughters to be found (job 42:15), and that he gave them estates as he did to their brothers.Yet his wife, who actually escaped death, is excluded from this scene of familial bliss.Except for jesus christ, no one in the bible suffered more than job.
In the midrashic account, job divided his property only among his seven sons, which grieved the daughters, who demanded their portion.
