And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters, and he called the first Day and the second Cassia and the third Horn of Amaltheia. And there were not found women more excellent than Job’s daughters beneath heaven, and their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers. Now Job lived after his calamity one hundred and seventy years, and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty-eight years. and Job saw his sons and the sons of his sons, a fourth generation, and Job died, old and full of days. And it is written that he will rise again with those the Lord raises up.
