However, some may say that the people in the book of Job reference a different Job and a different Eliphaz. Thus, the relationship between Job and Eliphaz may be proven by connecting Genesis 46, 1 Chronicles 1, and Job 2. Job had three comforters, or friends, who came to talk with him one man was called Eliphaz (Job 2:11). Within the book of Job, we find both names. We also read that Jacob had a twin brother called Esau, who had 4 sons, one of them named Eliphaz. Genesis 46:13 “Among them there was one man called Job – son of Issachar: And the sons of Issachar Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.” We find that 70 souls left Canaan and traveled into Egypt. So, let’s research when this righteous man may have lived. We are also told that “Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were there, their righteousness would save no one but themselves, says the Sovereign LORD”, Ezekiel 14:14 NLT. In James 5:11, we read, “Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy”. Job is an example of a righteous man he is one of whom the Apostle Paul said: “…we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses”, (Hebrews 12:1 NKJV), and consider “the issue of their life, imitate their faith” (Hebrews 13:7 ASV).
