Question
In Job. in chapter 42:11 Job got two gifts, a silver coin and an gold ring. Is a special meaning for these gifts.
Answer
Although the text does not indicate why Job’s friends decided to give him these coins, a tradition is brought in the commentaries that explains it:
Job’s friends asked what they could do for him. Job responded with a request to provide him with means necessary to support, not himself, but rather the poor and needy people that he had once taken care of. The response was the donation of these valuable objects, so that he could pass them on to the poor.
