"As I Lay Dying" by William Faulkner uses biblical allusions to explore themes of mortality, suffering, and redemption. The novel's title itself is a biblical reference to the Book of Job. Faulkner weaves in biblical imagery, such as the characters' names and the journey to bury Addie Bundren, to deepen the reader's understanding of the characters' struggles and beliefs.

Yes. The O in job has a short O sound, as in rob and snob. (The Biblical name Job is pronounced as a long O, as in Joe.)
Job's siblings are not named in the Bible.
The biblical poems are found after Esther, starting with Job.
Elihu
Ker-happuch means "paint horn" , which was a cosmetic box. This name was given to the youngest daughter of Job after his restoration to prosperity (Job 42:14)
Job, see Job 1:13
The biblical Abraham was a herdsman much like many people of his day. He was actually quite wealthy, with many different types of livestock. Note that according to tradition, Abraham spent most of his time teaching people about God. This is what is meant by his "calling out in the name of the Lord" (Genesis ch.12).
Job had seven sons. In the biblical account found in the Book of Job, he is described as a wealthy man with a large family, and his sons are mentioned alongside his three daughters. After enduring great suffering, he was later blessed with the restoration of his fortunes and additional children.
He doesn't have a last name!neither do any of the other characters!(exept some of the main characters!)
