In the ancient Near Eastern context, feasting was a common practice for marking special occasions. The completion of these days suggests a return to normalcy and a time for reflection and spiritual renewal. The cyclical nature of feasting and purification highlights the rhythm of life in Job's time, where spiritual concerns followed physical celebrations.Job would send for his children to purify them Job's role as the family patriarch included spiritual oversight. The act of purification suggests a ritual cleansing, possibly involving washing and abstaining from certain activities, to restore spiritual purity. This reflects the ancient belief in the need for atonement and reconciliation with God after potential moral lapses. Job's proactive approach underscores his deep concern for his children's spiritual well-being, emphasizing the importance of intercessory actions by family heads.rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for all of them Rising early signifies diligence and priority given to spiritual duties. Burnt offerings were a central aspect of Old Testament worship, symbolizing atonement and dedication to God. The act of offering sacrifices for each child individually highlights Job's meticulous care and the personal nature of his intercession. This practice aligns with the sacrificial system later formalized in the Mosaic Law, where offerings were made to atone for sins and seek God's favor.For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job's concern reflects an understanding of sin that goes beyond outward actions to include inner thoughts and attitudes. The fear of cursing God in their hearts indicates an awareness of the seriousness of blasphemy and the importance of maintaining a pure heart before God. This introspective view of sin is consistent with biblical teachings that emphasize the heart's condition, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/51-10.htm">Psalm 51:10</a> and <a href="/matthew/5-8.htm">Matthew 5:8</a>.This was Job’s regular practice Job's consistent behavior demonstrates his steadfast faith and commitment to God. His regular practice of intercession and sacrifice underscores the importance of routine spiritual disciplines in maintaining a relationship with God. This habitual devotion serves as a model of faithfulness and piety, reflecting the biblical principle of perseverance in spiritual duties, as seen in <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-17.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:17</a> and <a href="/hebrews/10-23.htm">Hebrews 10:23</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a> A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.

This use is not elsewhere found than in the passages cited above. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 5. - And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about; rather, when the days of the feasting had come round; i.e. whenever one of the birthdays had arrived in due course, and the feasting had taken place. That Job sent and sanctified them. In the old world, outside the Mosaic Law, the father of the family was the priest, to whom alone it belonged to bless, purify, and offer sacrifice. Job, after each birthday-feast, sent, it would seem, for his sons, and purified them by the accustomed ablutions, or possibly by some other ceremonial process, regarding it as probable that, in the course of their feasting, they had contracted some defilement. It would seem by the next clause that the purification took place at the close of the day of festivity. And rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings. Burnt offerings were instituted soon after the Fall, as we learn from <a href="/genesis/4-4.htm">Genesis 4:4</a>, and were in common use long before the Mosaic Law was given (see <a href="/genesis/8-20.htm">Genesis 8:20</a>; <a href="/genesis/22-8.htm">Genesis 22:8, 13</a>; <a href="/genesis/31-54.htm">Genesis 31:54</a>; <a href="/exodus/18-12.htm">Exodus 18:12</a>; 'Records of the Past,' vol. 2. pp. 20, 21; vol. 12. pp. 49, 71, etc.). The practice was common, so far as appears, to all the nations of antiquity, except the Persians (Herod., 1:132). According to the number of them all One, apparently, for each child, since each might have sinned in the way suggested. The offerings were clearly it. tended as expiatory. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. Two wholly different meanings are assigned by good Hebraists to the expression בר אחים. According to some, בר has its usual sense, "to bless," and אלהים signifies "false gods," or "idols;" according to the others, who form the great majority, אלהים has its usual sense of "God," and בר has the unusual sense of "curse" (so Buxtorf, Rosenmuller, Schultens, (Cook, Stanley Leathes, among moderns, and among ancient authorities, the Septuagint and the Vulgate). How the same word comes to have the two wholly opposite senses of "to bless" and "to curse" has been differently explained. Some think that, as men blessed their friends both on receiving them and on bidding them adieu, the word בר got the sense of "bidding adieu to," "dismissing," "renouncing." Others regard the use of בר for "to curse" as a mere euphemism, and compare the use of sacer and sacrari in Latin, and such expressions as "Bless the stupid man!" "What a blessed nuisance!" in English. The maledictory sense seems to be established by <a href="/job/2-9.htm">Job 2:9</a> and <a href="/1_kings/21-10.htm">1 Kings 21:10</a>. By "cursing God in their hearts" Job probably means "forgetting him," "putting him out of sight," "not giving him the honour which is his due." Thus did Job continually; literally, as in the margin, all the days; i.e. whenever one of the festival-days occurred. <a href="/commentaries/job/1-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And וַיְהִ֡י (way·hî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be when כִּ֣י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction the days יְמֵ֨י (yə·mê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day of feasting הַמִּשְׁתֶּ֜ה (ham·miš·teh) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4960.htm">Strong's 4960: </a> Drink, drinking, a banquet, feast were over, הִקִּיפֽוּ֩ (hiq·qî·p̄ū) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5362.htm">Strong's 5362: </a> To strike, to knock together, surround, circulate Job אִיּ֣וֹב (’î·yō·wḇ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_347.htm">Strong's 347: </a> Job -- a patriarch would send [for his children] וַיִּשְׁלַ֧ח (way·yiš·laḥ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7971.htm">Strong's 7971: </a> To send away, for, out to purify them, וַֽיְקַדְּשֵׁ֗ם (way·qad·də·šêm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6942.htm">Strong's 6942: </a> To be set apart or consecrated rising early וְהִשְׁכִּ֣ים (wə·hiš·kîm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7925.htm">Strong's 7925: </a> To load up, to start early in the morning in the morning בַּבֹּקֶר֮ (bab·bō·qer) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1242.htm">Strong's 1242: </a> Dawn, morning to offer וְהֶעֱלָ֣ה (wə·he·‘ĕ·lāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5927.htm">Strong's 5927: </a> To ascend, in, actively burnt offerings עֹלוֹת֮ (‘ō·lō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5930.htm">Strong's 5930: </a> Whole burnt offering for all of them. כֻּלָּם֒ (kul·lām) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every For כִּ֚י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction Job אִיּ֔וֹב (’î·yō·wḇ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_347.htm">Strong's 347: </a> Job -- a patriarch thought, אָמַ֣ר (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say “Perhaps אוּלַי֙ (’ū·lay) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_194.htm">Strong's 194: </a> Perhaps my children בָנַ֔י (ḇā·nay) Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son have sinned חָטְא֣וּ (ḥā·ṭə·’ū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2398.htm">Strong's 2398: </a> To miss, to sin, to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, lead astray, condemn and cursed וּבֵרֲכ֥וּ (ū·ḇê·ră·ḵū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1288.htm">Strong's 1288: </a> To kneel, to bless God, man, to curse God אֱלֹהִ֖ים (’ĕ·lō·hîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative in their hearts.?
