Abstract:

"The Book of Job in Form" presents to the reader a platform for a personal and 
intensive encounter with a great work of art. Its bilingual centre offers the text in 
Hebrew and English, and shows the forty poems in their original form, in 412 
strophes and 165 stanzas. The commentary points out how these proportions 
and the remarkable precision of the poet (who counted syllables on all text 
levels) affect the thematics of the book, so that the portrait of the hero can be 
redrawn; his stubbornly defended integrity meets vindication and his last words, 
generally misunderstood, require a positive understanding. The poetry and its 
slim framework in prose are a unified composition which deserves a synchronic 
approach.
