5 Cuando terminaban los días de fiesta, Job mandaba a buscarlos y los purificaba, levantándose de madrugada para ofrecer un holocausto por cada uno de ellos. Job se preocupaba, pensando para sí mismo: “Tal vez mis hijos hayan pecado de alguna manera y hayan ofendido a Dios sin querer”. Era lo que Job hacía siempre.
