Description

Professor gave a handout so, we read and write an essay on it. Should be 5-6 pages. I will attach the book, prompt, and my classroom notes. you also can use biblehub.com for explanation

and here is prof's email

"that you will likely have few or even no counterarguments
to deal with for this essay, in contrast with the last one. Fact is, none of
you, as far as I know, are Biblical scholars, and so you may only see a single
interpretation--your own. That's fine; just support and explain that
interpretation as fully and concretely as you can, citing the Book of Job
itself. Because of this, of course, the paper may actually end up being
slightly shorter than the last. If that's the case, that's fine; please do not
add any filler, in any case. Just write about your own approach."

You will argue for your own particular interpretation: What is this book telling us about our place in the universe/Creation? Remember that this book is being presented as a guide for living to the people of Israel: what lesson are they supposed to take from it? Think of it, finally, as a literary work: what is it telling us about being human? Does it tell us something in spite of itself? Do remember that the book is a very early, and quite limited, attempt at constructing a narrative. Jovano 'P! рә! ! 9 **** You will build your case only through primary sources.

The book of Job
The book of Job tries to explain to us about our place in God’s creation. This is best
presented through Job’s life where he loses all his wealth, health and family despite being a
righteous man and a man who obeyed God. He received advice from his wife and friends to
curse God for all the problems he was facing (Tsevat 73). However, he stood firm on his belief
and trust in God. It tries to show us on how we should live in through God’s way and guidance
and how to be human.
God is the provider of the wealth and we as human beings our work is being the
custodians of wealth. This is best illustrated when Job loses all his wealth, children and finally
his health. Despite being a righteous man, a man who respected God, God had to prove to Satan
that Job could not betray him by cursing his nae (Tsevat 73). Our place in God’s creation cannot
be revealed by the wealth we own but the trust we have in him. He allowed Satan to test Job by
taking all his property but did not allow Satan to hurt Job.
Man is the most important creation God made. This implies that God choses human being
to other creations that he made. God allowed Satan to take all what Job owned but he could not
allow him to take away the faith Job had in God. Job lost all his donkeys, camels, sheep, oxen
and a large number of servants through fires and lost his children through mighty winds but he
remained obedience to God. All those were God’s creation and God chose Job over all those
creations.

Health is part of God’s creation and it is a clear indication that God has power over it.
The health situation did not determine the place any person had in God’s creation. That is why
Job continued living despite all his suffering. Satan inflicted him with sores in all his body parts,
from the soles of his feet to the top of his head (Tsevat 73...
