King James Bible
"And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them."
Job's seven sons each hosted a feast on their designated day, creating a weekly rotation of celebrations. This detail establishes the family's prosperity and social harmony, while the phrase 'every one his day' suggests an organized system that gave each son equal honor. The brothers deliberately included their sisters in these gatherings, which was notable in ancient Near Eastern culture where women often ate separately. This inclusion demonstrates the family's close bonds and sets up the tragedy when all ten children die together at the eldest brother's feast.
