First mention of the Satan as a fallen angel
Satan came to meet with God God said Job was the perfect human Satan said Job was perfect because he
had an easy and rich life
God allows Satan to test Job Job loses all that he has (except wife) in a
few hours Satan returned to God and said Job was still
only doing good because he had his health God told Satan he could do anything to Job
but kill him Satan caused Job to be covered in boils Job ended up living in the town dump and
had to use a broken piece of pottery to scratch the boils
Rest of the books is a series of conversations between Job, his friends, his wife, and finally God
Job’s friends all tried to tell him his problems were his fault
Job’s wife told him to curse God and die God finally told Job that he could not
understand the reasons he did things
Creature described in Job
Said to have a tail like a cedar
Believed to be an elephant, hippopotamus, or a dinosaur
Another creature described in Job
Said to have scales so hard that nothing could cut it
Believed to be a crocodile, whale , or a sea monster
Job never turned his back on God Job’s friends are punished for giving him
bad advise Job ended up getting back double of
everything he had before his problems The book never tells us why God allowed
Satan to test Job and cause him to suffer
