Job 1:3 in Context — Job 1

1 Il y avait dans le pays d’Uts un homme qui s’appelait Job. Et cet homme était intègre et droit; il craignait Dieu, et se détournait du mal.

2 Il lui naquit sept fils et trois filles.

3 Il possédait sept mille brebis, trois mille chameaux, cinq cents paires de bœufs, cinq cents ânesses, et un très grand nombre de serviteurs. Et cet homme était le plus considérable de tous les fils de l’Orient.

4 Ses fils allaient les uns chez les autres et donnaient tour à tour un festin, et ils invitaient leurs trois sœurs à manger et à boire avec eux.

5 Et quand les jours de festin étaient passés, Job appelait et sanctifiait ses fils, puis il se levait de bon matin et offrait pour chacun d’eux un holocauste; car Job disait: Peut-être mes fils ont-ils péché et ont-ils offensé Dieu dans leur cœur. C’est ainsi que Job avait coutume d’agir.
