In the ancient Near Eastern context, physical beauty was often seen as a sign of divine favor and blessing. The mention of their beauty serves to underscore the restoration and blessing that Job received from God after his trials. This restoration is not only material but also familial, indicating a return to a state of honor and prosperity. The emphasis on their beauty also reflects the cultural values of the time, where beauty was often celebrated and could enhance a family's social standing.<p><b>and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers</b><br>In the patriarchal society of the ancient Near East, it was uncommon for daughters to receive an inheritance alongside their brothers. Typically, inheritance rights were reserved for sons, who would carry on the family name and responsibilities. By granting his daughters an inheritance, Job demonstrates a radical departure from cultural norms, reflecting a sense of justice and equality. This act can be seen as a foreshadowing of the New Testament principles of equality in Christ, as seen in <a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a>, where there is neither male nor female in Christ Jesus. Job's actions may also reflect the influence of divine wisdom and understanding, as he acts in a way that aligns with God's character of fairness and generosity. This decision by Job can be seen as a type of Christ, who grants all believers, regardless of gender, an inheritance in the Kingdom of God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man of great faith and patience, who endured immense suffering and was ultimately restored by God.
