Yeah.
I believe it will be the patriarch Job.
Which is the oldest book of the Bible.
The oldest book of the Bible.
I think Job built it.
And so how do we get there?
So I think, again, if you think about, first of all, the introduction of Job.
In chapter one, in Job chapter one, it's very interesting the things they say about him.
So it says that, you know, in Job one, it says that there is, you know, he's a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job.
He was perfect and upright.
And this is, listen to these details, a one that feared God and eschewed evil, sur in Hebrew.
That means this is someone who is passionately against evil and idolatry.
And they were born into him seven sons and three daughters.
His substance was also 7000 sheep and 3000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen and 500 she asses in a very great household.
So this man was the greatest of all the men of the East.
Now, at that time,
Uz, which is in biblical times, we think of Uz as part of Edom and Arabia.
All of that area at this time in the second millennium BC, in the 2000s BC, was a part of the Egyptian empire.
And where the northern kingdom and the upper kingdom and lower kingdom rather were met, that's right around where this was.
So he was living in the proximity of where we know the Giza pyramid is located today.
