Job

Ketuvim · Job

The hardest Hebrew in the catalogue, and for many people the reason to learn it.

The opening

אִישׁ הָיָה בְאֶֽרֶץ־עוּץ אִיּוֹב שְׁמוֹ וְהָיָה ׀ הָאִישׁ הַהוּא תָּם וְיָשָׁר וִירֵא אֱלֹהִים וְסָר מֵרָֽע׃

There was a man in the land of Utz [Aram (viz. Genesis 22:21)] by the name of Iyyov. And that man was pure and upright. And he feared G d and turned aside from evil.

וַיִּוָּלְדוּ לוֹ שִׁבְעָה בָנִים וְשָׁלוֹשׁ בָּנֽוֹת׃

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