A Hidden Note at the End of Job Reveals His True Identity

My book on the archeology of Israel in Egypt called "Dynasty of Slaves": https://a.co/d/0863S1B2 My blog/newsletter where I write about biblical history and more: https://blkshpbible.substack.com Most people think Job is a timeless story about suffering...a righteous man, a cosmic wager, and a God who eventually shows up with no explanation. But there's a 2,200 year old note at the end of the oldest copies of Job that most people have never read. And it changes everything about who Job was, when he lived, and why his story was written. Job wasn't isolated from Israel's story. He was at the center of it.
