* Thank you for the detail above.
* Yet, 'If' Job was indeed the son of Issachar (see again Genesis 46:13) then he was an Israelite, being the offspring of one of the twelve sons of Jacob. However we are not told directly, so cannot be absolutely sure. The land of Uz in which Job dwelt, could have been named after Uz, who was an offspring of Arum one of the sons of Shem (Gen.10:23).
well the bible is complete, Complete. listen to the scriptures. notice Job was a man of the EAST. first Evidence Job was before the Nation of Israel, Abraham second wife Keturah. Genesis 25:1 "Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah." Genesis 25:2 "And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, a
nd Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah." Genesis 25:3 "And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim." Genesis 25:4 "And the sons of
Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah."
Medan or Midian? the same person. do this Name seem familiar? it should. scripture, Genesis 37:27 "Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content." Genesis 37:28 "Then there passed by
Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver:
and they brought Joseph into Egypt."
and ONE MORE, Exodus 2:15 "Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh,
and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well." and guess who did he meet there? his father in law. Exodus 3:1 "Now Moses kept the flock
of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb."
now why is MIDIAN are so important? Matthew 2:1 "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem," WISE MEN FROM THE EAST. now back to Abraham and his second wife. LISTEN CAREFULLY. Genesis 25:6 "But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts,
and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country." WHERE DID ABRAHAM SENT THEM?
eastward, unto the east country. and where did Job dwelt? let the bible speak, Job 1:1 "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." Job 1:2 "And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters." Job 1:3 "His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household;
so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east." where did Job dwell? in the EAST COUNTRY, and where did Abraham send his boys that he had from Keturah.? answer, Genesis 25:6 "But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts,
and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country." and who was one of these sons? answer, Genesis 25:1 "Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah." Genesis 25:2 "And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and
Medan, and
Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah." Genesis 25:3 "And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim." Genesis 25:4 "And the sons of
Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah."
and these men was "WISE" just like Solomon. Matthew 2:1 "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem," was not Job Wise? he is upright, and another word for upright is Just, and Just or Justified is also "WISE". also "Perfect" is another word for JUST. so Job was a "WISE MAN". perfect and upright. and the Midianites was a nation before Israel Was. 101G used the connection.... MEN of the EAST.
and thank you for asking.
