Sounds Like: EE-ohb
Translations: Job
From the root: ΙΩΒ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun, referring to the biblical figure Job, a righteous man who endures great suffering. The final mark (ʼ) is a keraia, which typically indicates a numeral, but in this context, it is a scribal mark often found with proper nouns in ancient manuscripts, or it could be a variant spelling. It does not change the meaning of the word as the name Job.
