His name may imply "confusing friend" or "beloved friend," reflecting his role in the narrative as both a comforter and a critic. Bildad is known for his speeches that emphasize the justice of God and the idea that suffering is a result of sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Bildad is identified as a Shuhite, which suggests he may have been from a nomadic tribe in the region of Arabia. The Shuhites are thought to be descendants of Shuah, a son of Abraham by Keturah (Genesis 25:2). In the cultural context of the Ancient Near East, friends and family often gathered to mourn and offer counsel during times of distress, as seen in the Book of Job.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps "Bel has loved," one of Job's friends<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Bildad (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בִּלְדַּד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Βαλδαδ</font>;
