Thread on the study of the book of Job.

I doubt Moses wrote it all, unless he was given revelation of his death so he could write about his own death.
I apologize for not responding quickly,I thought I would read the link to the other thread you gave(your thread) to get an understanding of what you and the others saw concerning the book of Job and still am reading through it,lol.
I also agree Moses probably did not write all of this (the parts after his death you point out). In Genesis 2:4 KJV Moses states that this is the "generations of the Heavens and the earth" ,then in Genesis 5:1 KJV he begins with "the BOOK of the generations of Adam" so i notice it was as though he had ended the first book and began another at that point.
I also think that Job lived during the days of the Patriarchs. Why is that his friends are decedents of Esau and others so then they were born after Esau. The others also were after that point in time as it seems in your thread you are aware of.
Moses is about a 7th generation decedent of Abraham so all of those mentioned in Job are after Isaac and before Moses but somewhere in that area from what Ive reasoned.
So in Job the law(given through Moses) had not been given yet so which explains why there is no mention of it,on one hand. On the other even if it had been given it may not have been spoken of because if they were not decedents of Jacob/Israel then they were never in captivity but were in "Seir" in Deuteronomy 2 KJV. when Israel was going into the promised land.
In many discussions there has always been the debate over whether the "sons of God" in Genesis are the "sons of Seth who married daughters of Cain" or,,if they are sons of God meaning "angels who took daughters of men" and bore children with them.
So me trying to see this disp. if Job was written before Genesis(Moses wasn't yet born) then the first mention of the sons of God are in Job(but doesn't mention them taking the daughters of men). So "afterword" Moses mentions the sons of God the second time in scripture and adds to them that they took the daughters of men to wife and bore giants ect.
This then becomes different in the explanation of who the "sons of God" were and why is because of who began the idea that they were angels who did this,which was Moses himself.
Those who lived then seemed to be aware of who is being referenced to as the sons of God when Genesis was written. So in Genesis when Moses referenced them he was adding information to what they(those who lived then) already knew about those sons of God.,,,lol,kind of like Moses meant "oh yea,and the sons of God from the book of Job also married humans and bore giants",,,
lol,Ill read more in your link for a while and thanks for yoyr response.
