So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
So the LORD blessed Job's later life even more than his early life: he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
God blessed Job with twice as much wealth in his later life as he had before his trials, showing His faithfulness to restore what was lost.
