There was a man who dwelt in the land called Uz; his name was Job.
This man was very wealthy and righteous, and he feared God and turned away from evil.
He had seven sons and three daughters born to him.
He possessed seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred donkeys, along with an exceedingly great household.
The man was greatly revered among all the easterners, and his sons would go and feast in turn at each other's house, and they would send for their sisters.
