Job 1:4-5
New International Version
4 His sons used to hold feasts(A) in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(B) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(C) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(D) and cursed God(E) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
Job 1:4-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 His sons used to take turns having banquets at their homes. They would send an invitation to their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 Whenever a round of banqueting was over, Job would send for his children and purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for[a] all of them. For Job thought: Perhaps my children have sinned, having cursed God in their hearts. This was Job’s regular practice.
