And so Job died, old and full of years.

The patriarchs ("first fathers") Abraham and Isaac also died at an old age (Genesis 25:8; 35:29). Job too lived a long, full life. This fulfilled Eliphaz’s promise (Job 5:26). His promise had its basis on God's general promise (Deuteronomy 6:2; Psalm 91:16).
At the end of the book, the ancient Greek Old Testament (Septuagint) adds a note saying that Job will resurrect from the dead at the final resurrection. It also provides information about where and when Job and those who descended from him lived.

Genesis 25:8
And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
Job 5:26
You will come to the grave in full vigor, like a sheaf of grain gathered in season.
Genesis 15:15
You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.
Psalm 91:16
With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
Deuteronomy 6:2
…so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.
Proverbs 3:16
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
