Job 42:12,13,15-17



Job 42:12,13,15-17 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days. Here at the end of the book, God once again blesses Job. If you check Job chapter 1, you will notice that God doubled everything that Job had. Job had twice the sheep, twice the camels, twice the oxen, twice the donkeys, but wait, only ten more children. Job had ten children who were killed, but he had ten more at the end. That isn’t double . . . or is it? Job’s first ten children died and went to heaven. Job had ten more children, so actually Job’s family did double to twenty! And wow! Did Job have gorgeous daughters! His boys were strong and smart and his daughters were great lookers! Kind of like my grandchildren. Right?!
