Is there a book before Genesis?

Some scholars believe the book of Job to be written before Genesis. However, if speaking about the time of the events then Genesis comes first. Well, actually, the intro in John would come first then Genesis. Go see the book of John for yourself to see what I'm talking about.


Who comes before Job in the old testament?

I am not sure what you are looking for whether you are asking the date for Job or where its position in the Bible. The second one is easier. Its position will very depending on whether you use the Hebrew order or the English order. In the Hebrew Bible it comes after the Book of Psalms. In the English Bible it comes after the book of Esther. This however does not change the contents of what it says. The Hebrew bible tends to be more chronologically put together. If you are asking about the date this is harder to know. We really do not know when Job lived or who wrote the book. As far as I know there is no conclusive evidence of when this book was written. There are many idea which are suggested bases on what the author says or does not say. Based on the language used in Job some people say it is the oldest book in the Bible which would put it at least as old as Moses. Others say is could have been written during the 7-10th century BC. I could write several pages on this but that is not the point of this site. If either case the date it is written does not change the fact that it is inspired by God and that it should be in the Bible.


Is job in the Old Testament or new testament?

The book of Job can be found in the Old Testament.


Is Job mentioned in Genesis the same as the one in the book of Job?

The Book of Job is undoubtedly a parable: who could really know what God said to Satan in heaven, or what angry duscussions he had with Job, when his attempts to test Job failed? As there is no possibiliity the story is genuinely historical, there is no possibility Job was a real person. The Job briefly mentioned in Genesis 46:13 as a descendant of Jacob might also have been fictional, since we have no historical evidence for his existence. Whatever the case, the Bible makes no attempt to link the two men. We should see them as two different people.


How is the book of job pronounced in the bible?

In English: "jobe" In Hebrew: Iyov ("eeyove")
