And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Cuando sus hijos terminaban su turno de celebrar juntos, Job los mandaba llamar y los purificaba ceremonialmente. Se levantaba temprano por la mañana y ofrecía holocaustos por cada uno de sus hijos, porque Job pensaba: 'Tal vez mis hijos han pecado y han maldecido a Dios en sus corazones.' Job hacía esto regularmente.
Job intercedía constantemente por sus hijos ante Dios, ofreciendo sacrificios por si habían pecado.
