Job is pre writing. Job began before man could put the words down. It was an oral history. By the time it was written down, the context was missing because here was simply NOTHING left to compare it to. Yet they kept the literal descriptions even though they didn’t understand them because that was the history they had been taught. They tried to put their own context on it for their time. It doesn’t work as history that way. It completely changes thecontext. The way they wrote it was like an Aesop’s fable or a parable. It isn’t. It’s a rulebook and a guidebook and the history of man updated by new generations.
I think it is the most interesting Book in the entire Bible.
