Job 1:1 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Est. 10:3      Job 1:2

Job 1:1

A man lived in the land of Uz (Hebr. Ots) [probably east of Israel, see Lam. 4:21]. His name was Job [Hebr. Ijov, meaning "where is the father?" or "employed"]. He was a good (pure) and honest man (had integrity and wanted to do the right thing), who feared (revered) God and shunned evil.
[The words good and honest are used throughout the Bible to mean honesty, fidelity in marriage, treating servants well, being generous to the poor, and not worshipping idols. Job insists that he has done nothing wrong in these areas, see Job 31:1–40. However, Job was not sinless in a theological sense, otherwise he would not have needed to repent, see Job 42:6; Rom. 3:23.]
