- 1Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.וַיְהִ֣י הַיּ֔וֹם וַיָּבֹ֨אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לְהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל יְהוָ֑ה וַיָּב֤וֹא גַֽם הַשָּׂטָן֙ בְּתֹכָ֔ם לְהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל יְהוָֽה
- 2And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל הַשָּׂטָ֔ן אֵ֥י מִזֶּ֖ה תָּבֹ֑א וַיַּ֨עַן הַשָּׂטָ֤ן אֶת יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר מִשֻּׁ֣ט בָּאָ֔רֶץ וּמֵהִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ
- 3And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל הַשָּׂטָ֗ן הֲשַׂ֣מְתָּ לִבְּךָ֮ אֶל עַבְדִּ֣י אִיּוֹב֒ כִּי֩ אֵ֨ין כָּמֹ֜הוּ בָּאָ֗רֶץ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֧ם וְיָשָׁ֛ר יְרֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְסָ֣ר מֵרָ֑ע וְעֹדֶ֨נּוּ֙ מַחֲזִ֣יק בְּתֻמָּת֔וֹ וַתְּסִיתֵ֥נִי לְבַלְּע֥וֹ חִנָּֽם
- 4And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.וַיַּ֧עַן הַשָּׂטָ֛ן אֶת יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר ע֣וֹר בְּעַד ע֗וֹר וְכֹל֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָאִ֔ישׁ יִתֵּ֖ן בְּעַ֥ד נַפְשֽׁוֹ
- 5But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.אוּלָם֙ שְֽׁלַֽח נָ֣א יָֽדְךָ֔ וְגַ֥ע אֶל עַצְמ֖וֹ וְאֶל בְּשָׂר֑וֹ אִם לֹ֥א אֶל פָּנֶ֖יךָ יְבָרֲכֶֽךָּ
- 6And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל הַשָּׂטָ֖ן הִנּ֣וֹ בְיָדֶ֑ךָ אַ֖ךְ אֶת נַפְשׁ֥וֹ שְׁמֹֽר
- 7So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.וַיֵּצֵא֙ הַשָּׂטָ֔ן מֵאֵ֖ת פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיַּ֤ךְ אֶת אִיּוֹב֙ בִּשְׁחִ֣ין רָ֔ע מִכַּ֥ף רַגְל֖וֹ עד וְעַ֥ד קָדְקֳדֽוֹ
- 8And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.וַיִּֽקַּֽח חֶ֔רֶשׂ לְהִתְגָּרֵ֖ד וְה֖וּא יֹשֵׁ֥ב בְּתוֹךְ הָאֵֽפֶר
- 9Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.וַתֹּ֤אמֶר אִשְׁתּ֔וֹ עֹדְךָ֖ מַחֲזִ֣יק בְּתֻמָּתֶ֑ךָ בָּרֵ֥ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים וָמֻֽת
- 10But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֶ֗יהָ כְּדַבֵּ֞ר אַחַ֤ת הַנְּבָלוֹת֙ תְּדַבֵּ֔רִי גַּ֣ם אֶת הַטּ֗וֹב נְקַבֵּל֙ מֵאֵ֣ת הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וְאֶת הָרָ֖ע לֹ֣א נְקַבֵּ֑ל בְּכָל זֹ֛את לֹא חָטָ֥א אִיּ֖וֹב בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו
- 11Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֞וּ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת רֵעֵ֣י אִיּ֗וֹב אֵ֣ת כָּל הָרָעָ֣ה הַזֹּאת֮ הַבָּ֣אָה עָלָיו֒ וַיָּבֹ֨אוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ מִמְּקֹמ֔וֹ אֱלִיפַ֤ז הַתֵּימָנִי֙ וּבִלְדַּ֣ד הַשּׁוּחִ֔י וְצוֹפַ֖ר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִ֑י וַיִּוָּעֲד֣וּ יַחְדָּ֔ו לָב֥וֹא לָנֽוּד וּֽלְנַחֲמֽוֹ
- 12And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.וַיִּשְׂא֨וּ אֶת עֵינֵיהֶ֤ם מֵרָחוֹק֙ וְלֹ֣א הִכִּירֻ֔הוּ וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ קוֹלָ֖ם וַיִּבְכּ֑וּ וַֽיִּקְרְעוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ מְעִל֔וֹ וַיִּזְרְק֥וּ עָפָ֛ר עַל רָאשֵׁיהֶ֖ם הַשָּׁמָֽיְמָה
- 13So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.וַיֵּשְׁב֤וּ אִתּוֹ֙ לָאָ֔רֶץ שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים וְשִׁבְעַ֣ת לֵיל֑וֹת וְאֵין דֹּבֵ֤ר אֵלָיו֙ דָּבָ֔ר כִּ֣י רָא֔וּ כִּֽי גָדַ֥ל הַכְּאֵ֖ב מְאֹֽד

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
