* THERE was a man in the land of Uz , whose name was Job ; and that man was whole-hearted and upright , and one that feared God , and shunned evil . * And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters . * His possessions also 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 children of the east . * And his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one upon his day ; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them . * And it was so , when the days of their feasting were gone about , that Job sent and sanctified them , and rose up early in the morning , and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all ; for Job said : 'It may be that my sons have sinned , and blasphemed God in their hearts .' Thus did Job continually .
