YOV Chapter 1 thru 10  of the Hebrew book of Yob (Job), the story of Job is introduced. Job was a righteous man who lived in the land of Uz and was blessed with wealth and prosperity. However, YAHUAH allowed Satan to take away all of Job's possessions and afflict him with physical suffering to test his devotion. Despite this, Job remained steadfast in his faith and worship of YAHUAH, declaring his innocence and lamenting the loss of his blessings.

Job's friends arrived to comfort him, but instead they accused him of hiding some secret sin that must have caused his misfortune. In response, Job vehemently denied any wrongdoing and defended his integrity. He argued that the righteous sometimes suffer and that he cannot understand why YAHUAH has allowed his suffering.

In these chapters, Job also reflects on the majesty and power of YAHUAH, acknowledging his limited understanding of the ways of YAHUAH. Throughout this time of suffering, Job maintains his faith in YAHUAH and awaits his eventual vindication.
Job 1:1-22 The Scriptures 1998+ 1 There was a man in the land of Uts, whose name was Iyob And that man was perfect and straight, and one who feared Elohim and turned aside from evil. 2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him. 3 And his possessions were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very large body of servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East. 4 And his sons went and had a feast in the house of each on his day, and sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 5 And it came to be, when the days of feasting had gone round, that Iyob would send and set them apart, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings – the number of them all – for Iyob said, “It might be that my sons have sinned and cursed Elohim in their hearts.” This Iyob always did. 6 And the day came to be that the sons of Elohim came to present themselves before YHWH, and Satan also came among them. 7 And YHWH said to Satan, “From where do you come?” And Satan answered YHWH and said, “From diligently searching in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” 8 And YHWH said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Iyob that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and straight man, one who fears Elohim and turns aside from evil?” 9 And Satan answered YHWH and said, “Is Iyob fearing Elohim for naught? 10 “Have You not made a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But stretch out Your hand, please, and strike all that he has – if he would not curse You to Your face!” 12 And YHWH said to Satan, “See, all that he has is in your hand. Only do not lay a hand on himself.” And Satan went out from the presence of YHWH. 13 And the day came to be when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the first-born. 14 And a messenger came to Iyob and said, “The oxen were ploughing and the donkeys feeding alongside them, 15 when Sheb fell upon them and took them away, and they smote the servants with the edge of the sword. And I alone have escaped to inform you!” 16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of Elohim fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them. And I alone have escaped to inform you!” 17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, and made a raid on the camels and took them away, and they smote the servants with the edge of the sword. And I alone have escaped to inform you!” 18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the first-born, 19 and see, a great wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. And I alone have escaped to inform you!” 20 Then Iyob rose up and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and did obeisance. 21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I return there. YHWH has given, and YHWH has taken away. Blessed be the Name of YHWH” 22 In all this Iyob did not sin nor ascribe wrong-doing unto Elohim.......
