Job (איוב) was the central figure in the Book of Job from the Hebrew Bible; however, the book doesn't make it clear if Job was a Hebrew or not. Different faiths have different views:



Christianity

Job is considered to be a Hebrew, even though the book of Job doesn't mention anything about this.


Judaism

Judaism has various opinions, as with many topics. According to some rabbis, Job was a Gentile because he is said to have been a pious Gentile or one of the prophets of the Gentiles. Other Rabbis consider him to be Hebrew.


Islam

Job was a prophet, but Islam doesn't discuss whether or not he was Hebrew, only that he was a late descendant of Noah.
