42:17 Like Abraham and Isaac, who also died at a ripe old age (Gen 25:8; 35:29), Job lived a long, full life, fulfilling Eliphaz’s promise (Job 5:26), which was based on God’s general promise (Deut 6:2; Ps 91:16). • At the end of the book, the Greek Old Testament adds a note declaring that Job will rise from the dead at the resurrection. It goes on to provide information about where and when Job and his descendants lived.
