Abstract
The book of Job is classified as one of the poetic books of the Hebrew Bible, which Christians sometimes call the Old Testament. It comprises mostly monologues, and most of its action is reported rather than depicted directly. The opening verses of the book introduce Job, a prosperous, God-fearing man and the father of seven sons and three daughters. His herds of cattle and sheep, which many servants tend, are extensive.
