Job 1:4
“His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.”
Verse in context — Job 1
There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts." Job did so continually.
Now it happened on the day when God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them.
