1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job. And that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God and turned aside from evil.

2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

3 And his possessions were seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
