Bible Question: How long did Job suffer? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Shirley5, We only truly know that Job lived 140 years after his affliction (Job 42:16). The Bible does not tell us exactly how long he suffered, or for how many days Job bore all of his afflictions, or how old he was at the time his afflictions began. However, it is commonly believed that the time of Job was anywhere from 2000 - 1000 B.C., most likely earlier rather than later. Blessings to you, Makarios |
