The Lord Restores Job’s Fortunes

10 And the Lord*See Ps. 14:7restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job *Isa. 40:2;61:7twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came to him all his *ch. 19:13brothers and sisters and all who had *ch. 19:13known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they *ch. 2:11showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil*42:11 Or disaster that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him *Gen. 33:19;Josh. 24:32a piece of money*42:11 Hebrew a qesitah; a unit of money of uncertain value and *Gen. 24:22a ring of gold.

12 And the Lord blessed *ch. 8:7the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had *[ver. 10; ch. 1:3]14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He had also *ch. 1:2seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job’s daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance *See Num. 27:1-8among their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and *Gen. 50:23;[Ps. 128:6;Isa. 53:10]saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and *See ch. 5:26full of days.
