God Restores Job

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and doubled his previous possessions.  * 42:10 Ps 14:7; Is 40:2; Mt 5:4411 All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances  * 42:11 Jb 2:11; 19:13 came to him and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a piece of silver  * 42:11 Lit a qesitah; the value of this currency is unknown,* 42:11 Gn 33:19; Jos 24:32 and a gold earring.  * 42:11 Gn 24:22; 35:4; Hs 2:13

12 So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned fourteen thousand sheep and goats, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.  * 42:14 Ps 45:8; Sg 2:14; Jr 4:3015 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance with their brothers.

16 Job lived 140 years after this and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 Then Job died, old and full of days.  * 42:17 Gn 25:8; 35:29; 1Ch 29:28
