J.C. De Moor deals with these questions in his book ‘The Rise of Yahwism’. I
can check
the specifics when I get home, but off the top of my head, he concludes Job,
or Yabbu,
was a Canaanite king living at the late bronze age at the area of Bashan. He
was vassal
to the Egyptians. He may have written the original kernel of the book himself
- the book
has many polytheistic references. In addition to textual analysis he provides
some
supporting archaeological evidence. (He also has a chapter on Moses - this
book is
amazing.) - Noam Eitan, Brooklyn, NY

Dear members of the list,

I have a four part question regarding Job.

1. What are the most accurate dates for when the book might have been
written?
2. Can Job himself be placed in any acceptable date when he might possibly
have lived?
3. Can there be any possible reason to consider that Moses might have
collected the story?
4. Can the land of Nod be identified?

Thankyou all Chris.

I don't think this NITZDAK is a good launching pad for a discussion about
aspect, because the meaning of both is controversial. We need examples where
the meaning can be clearly gleaned at least from the context to discuss such
a topic. - Noam Eitan, Brooklyn, NY

Dear Harold,

Now we fully switched to the issues of faith, and the discussion becomes
meaningless. One can believe in Las Vegas jackpot as well.
I take Nakh for saga. You take it for prophecy. Jewish folks probably
believed in messianic fables. The knowledgeable priests certainly did not.
We can see prophecies in War and Peace.
Let's better talk of grammar, if we can dissect it from the doctrine.


Sincerely,

Vadim Cherny
