Bible Question: How Long Did Job suffer all the persecution allowed by God (weeks, years?) |
Bible Answer: Following his terrible ordeal, Job lived 140 years. If he was about 70 when the calamities struck, he live to be about 210. According to Jewish tradition, his latter years (140) were exactly twice the number of his former ones (70). Job saw his descendants to the fourth generation. that is, he lived to see great-great-grandchildren. The scripture doesn't give an exact number of years that he suffered.See Job 42:16-17 |
