Job 42:8 — Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Therefore		From this it appears that Job was considered as a priest, not only to his own family, but also to others. For his children he offered burnt offerings, (Job 1:5,) and now he is to make the same kind of offerings, accompanied with intercession, in behalf of his three friends. This is a full proof of the innocence and integrity of Job.
