::One more note about the Book of Job: it predates Moses and Torah, and various tellings of story exist in several ancient cultures, including Persian. It hints at an afterlife in its final chapter. It is part of the "received text" of Moses and the early chroniclers. Like Hebrews, its authorship is unknown. Its divine origins were recognized as universal and predates the Abrahamic Covenant. Genesis, or the Book of Origins, is not the "first" or oldest book of the bible. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a chance'']]</sup> 00:14, May 9, 2023 (EDT)

::The concept of "Abraham's bosom" (the idea of being a "bosom buddy" or standing with someone) was a concept developed by some teachers of the law to placate followers who believed in an afterlife. It was not universally accepted or taught as doctrine. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a chance'']]</sup> 04:00, May 9, 2023 (EDT)
