Job and Calvinism?

Interesting factoid about Job in the LXX:

"The Septuagint translation of Job is shorter than the Masoretic text by 389 verses, though there are interesting midrashic additions at the end. Debates continue as to whether the translator used a shorter Hebrew version, such as is now attested at Qumran, or whether he abridged the work himself to make it more palatable to a cultured audience, perhaps non-Jewish as well as Jewish, and to tone down some of Job's more shocking outbursts."
 
No one knows it what Job was originally written in. The MT from the 10th century certainly isn't it. The Hebrew you posted doesn't exist.

By all means, post what the original and prove it is such.
That's just stupid. The Hebrew I posted exists. It just doesn't exist in any manuscript you're willing to accept.

The is no confirmation in Qumran....
If you're going to quote someone, give them credit or blame.

Provide the evidence from Qumran.

Job wasn't a Jew.

You're posting content from others and not quoting them. You're search for anything that will make your case and you have no idea what you're doing.

Do you even know what qumran is a reference to?

No the Hebrew you posted is from the 10th century. The block script Hebrew you posted didn't exist when Job was written.

You need help and you're an unethical posting other's commentary as your own.
