Hebrew font wordperfet8/28/2023 ![]() So why isn't Jacob considered "perfect" by the translations just as they did with Job? This is another case of translators relying on the Greek Septuagintįor their translation rather than the Hebrew text itself. ![]() ![]() There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job and that man was perfect and upright, and one Job 1:1 (KJV)įrom these two verses, we could conclude that Jacob was plain, just an ordinary person, nothing special, but Job, on the other hand, was rather extraordinary as he was "perfect." What you might find interesting is the word "perfect" in Job 1:1 is a translation of the Hebrew word תם tam but so is the word "plain" in Genesis 25:27.
