Job 42:13

13 Y tuvo siete hijos y tres hijas.

Job 42:13 Meaning and Commentary

Job 42:13

He had also seven sons, and three daughters.
] The same number of children, and of the same sort he had before, ( Job 1:2 ) ; and according to Nachman the very same he had before, which the additional letter in the word "seven" is with him the notification of; so that the doubting of what he had before, ( Job 42:10 ) ; respects only his substance, and particularly his cattle; though the Targum says he had fourteen sons, and so Jarchi ^F20; others think these may be said to be double to Job in their good qualities, external and internal, in their dispositions, virtues, and graces; and others, inasmuch as his former children were not lost, but lived with God, and would live for ever, they might now be said to be double; and so they consider this as a proof of the immortality of the soul, and of the resurrection of the body; but these senses are not to be trusted to; whether these children were by a former wife or another is uncertain.

Job 42:13 In-Context

11 Entonces todos sus hermanos y todas sus hermanas y todos los que le habían conocido antes, vinieron a él y comieron pan con él en su casa; se condolieron de él y lo consolaron por todo el mal que el SEÑOR había traído sobre él. Cada uno le dio una moneda de plata, y cada uno un anillo de oro.

12 El SEÑOR bendijo los últimos días de Job más que los primeros; y tuvo catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil asnas.

13 Y tuvo siete hijos y tres hijas.

14 Llamó a la primera Jemina, a la segunda Cesia y a la tercera Keren-hapuc.

15 Y en toda la tierra no se encontraban mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job; y su padre les dio herencia entre sus hermanos.
