From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Uz seemingly was near Edom, allowing for a later extension of Edomite domain into Uz, or for some later Edomites to be dwelling in the “land of Uz,” as is indicated at Lamentations 4:21. -Source: Insight on the scriptures, printed 1988.--Standforder (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jeremiah was commissioned to pass the cup of God’s wrath to “all the kings of the land of Uz,” and the immediate context includes references to Philistia, Edom, Moab, and Ammon. (Jer 25:15, 17, 20, 21) - Source: Insight on the scriptures, printed 1988.--Standforder (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Job’s homeland was vulnerable to attack by Sabeans (from the S) and Chaldeans (from the E). (Job 1:15, 17) Taken together, these factors would indicate a location E of the Promised Land and near Edom, somewhere in N Arabia. - Source: Insight on the scriptures, printed 1988.--Standforder (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing a research paper and I'm not entirely sure how to put in citations but I just wanted to add this because I viewed it as significant. The quote from the War Scroll that I have comes from "The Dead Sea Scrolls" A New translation by Wise, Abegg, and Cook. ISBN is 9780060766627. Thanks

Who is Rashi?

[edit]

Who is Rashi, and why is their commentary quoted prominently in the article’s introduction? Perhaps their significance should be explained here. — SimonEast (talk) 00:22, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
