Abstract

After analyzing some syntactic and semantic aspects of Job 28, a possible inference for a post-exilic reading locale for this poem is possible. In addition, attesting that Wisdom is a work of a literati stratum with intentions and specific rhetorical effects, current readers should consider several social constructions that mediate these literary creations. Therefore, in the formative process of Israel in post exile, Job is among several texts that aim to build religious and social identity. Consequently, investigating some theological and anthropological assumptions in the lines of this specific poem is possible among postexilic literary school of thought.
