Holy Scripture

Job 42:11

A church father on this verse
“But there came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and did eat bread with him in his house, and moved the head over him. 23. What is designated by the eating of bread but charity, and what by the moving of the head but admiration? But it is well subjoined, And comforted him over…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXXV

Original

11And all his brethren and his sisters heard All that had happened to him, And they came to him, And so did all that had known him from the first: And they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, And wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: And each one gave him a lamb, and four drachma’s weight of gold, even of unstamped gold.

9So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Minaean, Went and did as the Lord commanded them: And he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.

10And the Lord prospered Job: And when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin: And the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.

— Job 42:11 —

12And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning: And his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, Six thousand camels, A thousand yoke of oxen, A thousand she-asses of the pastures.

13And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
