Job 1:1
Douay-Rheims
There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
Has, the first-born of Nachor, Abraham's brother (Gen. 22: 21), is thought by some to hare given his name to this land, which they suppose to he in the northern part of Arabia, bordering on the Euphrates and Mesopotamia, not lar from Charan, where Nachor dwelt It is, however, more probable that it was a part of Idumea, and derived its name from a grandson of Seir.
