2 And there were born unto him sevensons and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seventhousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, andfive hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was thegreatest of all the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted intheir houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters toeat and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days oftheir feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose upearly in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number ofthem all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God intheir hearts.

1 People do not know exactly where Uz was but people thinkaround the <st1lace w:st="on">Euphrates</st1lace> where the earlier worldwas dominated. Job was never a common name people whether this troy actuallyhappened or was just given by God to teach us things, I think it both s true andwe should learn from it. This does not mean he was without sin because onlyChrist was without sin but says that he served the Lord and was made righteous.He had a respect for God, followed His ways and not the ways of the world.

2 Big families at that time showed that God had favor foryou. It was also uncommon in those days to include daughters. Most things ofthe time would have just said he had seven sons and some daughters or said hehad seven sons not making mention of the daughters.
<o> </o>
3 This shows his wealth, how God chose to bless him bygiving him wealth. Wealth of that day was measure by what you owned not by themoney you had because at this time they may have not had money but did thingsby trade.
<o> </o>
4 His sons partied everyday; this did not use what God hadgiven them to bless Him they just wasted it. We can be like these sons if weare not careful.

5 This shows Job’s righteousness, he did not want to evencome close to upsetting God, we often times only do things we are wrong to makethem right, Job wanted to make sure that when his family did wrong they wereforgiven. We can not save others even if we try in the way Job did, Christwould save others by being a sacrifice for us.
