This Book takes its name from the holy man of whom it treats: who,
according to the more probable opinion, was of the race of Esau; and
the same as Jobab, king of Edom, mentioned Gen. 36.33. It is uncertain
who was the writer of it. Some attribute it to Job himself; others to
Moses, or some one of the prophets. In the Hebrew it is written in
verse, from the beginning of the third chapter to the forty-second
chapter.
