English
No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.
Notes
their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers: Daughters usually inherited only if there were no male children (Numbers 27; 36). Perhaps Job's unusual action indicated his great wealth. Only a rich man could give some wealth to the families into which his daughters would marry.
