Yov
and Job
Yôwb — a personal name found in the genealogical lists, generally identified as the name of an individual descendant of the patriarch Joktan. The name appears to refer to a person (likely a clan ancestor) rather than a geographic location, and in later tradition has been associated with the figure known as Job, though this identification is not linguistically well-founded. The usage in the genealogical context suggests a clan or lineage name rather than a narrative character.
