Job's Character And Greatness

4 Job's sons used to take turns giving a feast. They invited many others to come, and they always invited their three sisters to join them. 5 When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually. 6 The day came when heavenly beings appeared before Jehovah (YHWH). Satan was there among them.
