Job 1:1-5

Rotherham(i) 1 A man, there was––in the land of Uz, Job, his name,––and that man was blameless and upright, and one who revered God, and avoided evil. 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 And his substance was––seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she–asses, and a body of servants exceeding large,––thus was that man the greatest of all the sons of the East.
4 Now his sons were wont to go, and make a banquet, at the house of each one upon his day,––and to send and call their three sisters, to eat and to drink with them. 5 And so it was, when the days of the banquet came round, that Job sent and hallowed them, and rising early in the morning offered ascending–sacrifices according to the number of them all; for Job said, Peradventure my sons have sinned, and have cursed God in their hearts. Thus and thus, was Job wont to do all the days.
