The Book of Job Chapter 01 & 02 ESV Version.

Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of Job This is episode #01 chapters 01 and 02. Job Chapter 01, We are introduced to Job right off the bat. He's pretty much the coolest guy alive and life is good. Job has a big family, lots of property, 7,000 sheep (5,000 looks like this), 3,000 camels, 500 oxen, and 500 donkeys. Oh, and he's one of the most righteous men out there. Not bad. God is psyched about how awesome Job is, so he brags to Satan. As you might expect, Satan doesn't agree. He says that Job is only so righteous because his life is so good. Job Chapter 02,  God gets back to bragging about Job, and Satan, once again, doesn't buy it. This time, God gives Satan permission to hurt Job physically, something he wouldn't let him do last time. Just don't kill him, God says. Satan's method of choice? Give Job sores from his tippy-toes to his noggin. Job's wife apparently doesn't find this attractive, because she suggests that he curse God and die. But Job refuses to be disloyal. Job's buddies Eliphaz, Zophar, and Bildad come to visit and chill with him while he rolls around in ash and sackcloth. This is all standard procedure, don't worry.
