Editing Testament of Job (section)

=== Parallels in Qumran literature ===
Some scholars have noted that the Testament of Job shares some thematic and ideological similarities with the [[Qumran]] community. For example, James H. Charlesworth has called attention to the numerous parallels between the Testament of Job and some of the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]]. In particular he commented upon a “striking resemblance to the Qumran concept of the fellowship of the just with the angels” as found in the Testament. This refers especially to the ability of Job’s daughters to have access to the language of the angels. Also, according to Charlesworth, “The whole of the hymn against Elihu (TJob 43:4-17), in fact, is replete with Qumran affinities.”<ref>James H.
