Personal name: Iyov (Job), an individual noted in biblical literature as the central figure of the book bearing his name. The lexical meaning of the name is uncertain; later Hebrew tradition and some scholarship connect it with the concept of 'enmity' or 'persecution', possibly meaning 'object of hostility' or 'the persecuted one,' but the exact derivation and meaning remain debated.

SIBI-P1 Translation H347-02
Iyov
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name); absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name (HNp). Although often linked etymologically to the root איב (‘to be hostile’), its function in the Hebrew Bible is exclusively as a personal name, so it is rendered as Iyov while preserving its potential root association in analysis rather than translation. |
