jan 1, 1473 BC - Job
Description:
Writer(s): MosesPlace Written: Wilderness of Sinai
Writing Completed: 1473 B.C.E.
Time Covered: Over 140 years between 1657 and 1473 B.C.E.
Written by Moses, according to both Jewish and early Christian scholars. Its poetry, language, and style indicate that it was originally written in Hebrew. The many similarities to the Pentateuch in the prose portion of the book tend to point to Moses as the writer. During his 40-year stay in Midian, Moses could have had access to the facts about Job's trial, and he likely learned of the outcome of Job's life when Israel came near Uz on the way to the Promised Land, in 1473 B.C.E.
