three
friends, a “Temanite,” or descendant of Teman. He and his companions did not understand
God
, nor His dealings in
discipline
with a righteous
man
. His arguments were founded on experience, as
Bildad

wrath
was kindled against them, for they had not spoken of
Him
correctly. They were directed to take
seven
bullocks and seven rams and offer them as a burnt
offering
: Job, His
servant
, should pray for them, and God would accept him (
Job 2:11
