JOB the Patriarch

Job most likely predates the written words of Moses & the Pentateuch (Genesis - Deuteronomy).
Moses himself lived and recorded the Pentateuch after the Patriarchal period 

(Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph predate Moses).  

  Many scholars conclude that Job's Narrative took place during the Patriarchal period.

Specifically, cities are mentioned in the Book of Job that match known places of Abraham's Saga.

Therefore, we place the book of Job after Genesis, because it seems to predate the Exodus,

and it gives us a parallel perspective of God's oversight with all mankind, (including the Gentiles)

during an age where God was calling out His People "Israel" as an example to the rest of the world.
Also, Job is an extremely poetical book, with a prologue & epilogue to open and close it's song,
therefore, as the books were arranged in the cannon of scripture,
Job was lumped in with the rest of the poetic books like Psalms, Proverbs, etc...
However, Historically and Chronologically Job fits in best with the Patriarchs...

Underwhelmed or Overwhelmed

Mapping the Moves of Abraham

It is paramount, as we chronologically read thru Abraham's Journey in one hand,

 that we map it out with our other hand.  

Find a good bible atlas or at the very least, use the map above.  

God's covenant to Abram was made in real time, with real people, in real places!

Adam - the Dirt Man

Adam - (Hebrew אָדַם  Greek- Ἀδάμ) red/earth/mud/man

And the LORD God formed man (Adam) of the dust of the ground

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

and man (Adam) became a living soul. 

Genesis 2:7

Charting out the Descendants of Adam from the Genesis Account is quite possible.  

Although modern science dismisses the near millennial ages of the pre-flood patriarchs,

there is ample evidence to believe the bible really means what it says, so when these men are recorded to live hundreds of years, we believe they really were "Dirt Old".

A quick glance at the other bookend of His-Story reveals that there will be a period of time,

in the future, when Christ will usher in a a millennial reign of a thousand years (ten centuries).  

During this era of His-Story it is recorded in Isaiah 65 that to die at 100 years old,

one would be considered a mere youth...

Amazing Long Life 

just like the lives of those who walked the earth before the flood.  

There are a couple of verses that allude to a shortening of life after the flood,  

determining that 70-80 is a life fully lived. (Psalms 90:10) 

 which continues to be the avg.

This is not just a trivial pursuit,

 assuming that these Pre-flood patriarchs lived nearly 10 centuries, 

has paramount implications:

  

Incredible Genes, DNA, Stamina, Immune Systems etc...

Social & Civil Systems Endure when the Patriarchs don't die off...

Credible 1st & 2nd hand accounts of creation all the way to Noah - all the way to Abram.

check out a chart of Adam's family Tree all the way to Noah and Beyond.

What other implications might be made???

A quick glance at the chart above gives us perspective of the entire chronological read.
One noteworthy statistic in our first week of reading Genesis is that -
We will cover more centuries of Human History this week than any other week of reading!
Around 2000 years or 20 centuries are covered in the first 11 chapters of Genesis.

So as you ponder this week's read and establish a new discipline of study,

keep in mind that we are covering an enormous amount of His - Story.
