lJob is of unknown authorship and origin, taking the form of a drama or a narrative poem, with portions of sermonic monologues and songs interspersed. In literary form it probably is somewhat similar to our modern dramatic musicals. It is set during the patriarchal period, but was probably written down during the post-exilic period.
