− | This book takes its name from the holy man of whom it treats: who, according to the more probable opinion, was of the race of Esau; and the same as Jobab, king of Edom, mentioned in Genesis 36:33. It is uncertain who was the writer of it. Some attribute it to Job himself; others to Moses, or some one of the prophets. In the Hebrew it is written in verse, from the beginning of the third chapter to the forty-second chapter. (For more information, see the article [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08413a.htm JOB] in the Catholic Encyclopedia.)[http://www.newadvent.org/bible/job000.htm] | + | This book takes its name from the holy man of whom it treats: who, according to the more probable opinion, was of the race of Esau; and the same as Jobab, king of Edom, mentioned in Genesis 36:33.
