Job 1:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 and he had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-donkeys, and a very large household, so that he was greater than anyone in the East.[a] 4 His sons used to take turns giving feasts, sending invitations to their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 And when each feast had run its course, Job would send for them and sanctify them, rising early and offering sacrifices for every one of them. For Job said, “It may be that my children have sinned and cursed[b] God in their hearts.” Job did this habitually.

Job 1:3-5
New International Version
3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys,(A) and had a large number of servants.(B) He was the greatest man(C) among all the people of the East.(D)
4 His sons used to hold feasts(E) in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(F) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(G) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(H) and cursed God(I) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
