- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν κατὰ τὰς θυγατέρας Ἰὼβ βελτίους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὑπ᾽ οὐρανόν· ἔδωκεν δὲ αὐταῖς ὁ πατὴρ κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.

Haydock's commentary
Daughters. Alexandrian Septuagint adds, "and sons."
Brethren. This was contrary to the custom of the Jews, (Numbers xxvii. 8.) but conformable to the Roman laws, and to the Koran. (Sur. 4.) (Calmet)
