He is known for his speeches in the Book of Job, where he attempts to explain Job's suffering as a result of sin and urges him to repent. Zophar's approach is characterized by a strict and somewhat harsh interpretation of divine justice.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the Ancient Near East, friends and community members often played a significant role in providing counsel and support during times of distress. Zophar, along with Eliphaz and Bildad, represents the traditional wisdom of the time, which often linked suffering directly to personal wrongdoing. This reflects the broader cultural belief in retributive justice, where good is rewarded and evil is punished.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6842.htm">tsaphir</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>one of Job's friends<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zophar (4).<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">צֹפַר</font> and (Job 2:11) <font class="hebrew2">צוֺפַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Job's third friend</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">הַנַּעַמָתִי</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">צ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/2-11.htm">Job 2:11</a>;
