And Job died, an old man and full of days: and it is written that he will rise again with those whom the Lord raises up. This man is described in the Syriac book [as] living in the land of Ausis, on the borders of Edom{gr.Idumea} and Arabia: and his name before was Jobab; and having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a son whose name was Ennon. And he himself was the son of his father Zerah{gr.Zare}, one of the sons of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the fifth from Abraham{gr.Abraam}. And these were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he also ruled over: first, Bela{gr.Balac}, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dennaba: but after Bela{gr.Balac}, Jobab, who is called Job, and after him Husham{gr.Asom}, who was governor out of the country of Teman{gr.Thaeman}: and after him Hadad{gr.Adad}, the son of Barad, who destroyed Midian{gr.Madiam} in the plain of Moab; and the name of his city was Gethaim. And [his] friends who came to him were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of the Temanites{gr.Thaemanites}, Baldad sovereign of the Sauchaeans, Sophar king of the Minaeans. |
