Job chapter 1, part 3

*Now that the adversary has permission to mess up Job's life, things start to happen. One day, all Job's kids were feasting and drinking at the oldest son's house. Then a messenger came to
Job and told him the Sabeans had attacked and carried off the oxen that were plowing (All 500 pairs of oxen at once?) and the donkeys that were grazing (All 500 donkeys at once?). They also killed all the servants and that messenger was the only one that had escaped. That appears to be a a lie, because another messenger comes and tells Job that fire from God (Elohim) fell from the sky and burned up the sheep (All 7,000 sheep at once?) and all the servants. That messenger was the only one who escaped. He looks like a liar too when another messenger comes and tells Job that three raiding parties of  Chaldeans carried off the camels (All 5,000 camels at once? ) and killed all the servants. He was the only one left. Wait. There was yet another messenger. He told Job that the house where all his children were feasting had been knocked down by a mighty desert wind. The children were all dead and the messenger was the sole survivor.

*So, in rapid succession, four sole surviving servants told Job he had lost all his livestock, servants, and children. But he still had the four servants, his land, and his wife. Job tore his robe, shaved his head, and fell to the ground in worship. He said these famous words, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away; May Yahweh's name be praised." Job did not sin by charging God (Elohim) of wrongdoing. Is he human?

*I will assume that because the text emphasizes that Job did not accuse God, or the gods, of wrong doing, there must have been people complaining of just that when this passage was written. We are being given a foreshadowing of the main point: If you want to be considered devout, you don't become God's accuser or adversary, no matter how bad life gets.
