Best Answer

Yes, but not oriental as we know it. Oriental was a term used in bible times to refer to those on the far east...likely Arabia. Ask one of jehovahs witnesses. They have the answers.

Another Answer:

No, it does not appear so. Job was a native of the land of Uz:

Job 1:1New International Version (NIV) Prologue1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.

In the genealogies of the nations found in Genesis, Aram is the father of Uz:

Genesis 10:23New King James Version (NKJV)

23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and MASH

Aram was from the line of Shem and is believed to be in the general area of the Middle East where Edom lived and Arabia (See Jeremiah 25:20 and Lamentations 4:21 for more referrence). Aram is said to be the father of the Arameans which are not part of the Oriental branch.
