Some think possibly it was given to Moses in vision while he was spending 40 years in Midian. Or maybe on the exodus.
Others think it may be the first book of the Bible given. That the story of Job was written down and possibly given to Abraham who passed it down. But who may have had it? I would suggest that maybe it was Melchizedek, the high priest, who Abraham paid a 10th of the spoils to. He may have preserved the story.
But then some may inquire as to how did anyone know what was said between God & lucifer? I would suggest that just as God spoke to Job in his suffering and questioned him, so too Go may have afterwar explained to Job what had happened. And either Job wrote it down and someone placed the finishing verses to end his story or Job dictated the story near the end of his life to a scribe.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:
and he was the
priest of the most high God.
Genesis 14:18
