JOB WOULD SEND FOR HIS CHILDREN AND PURIFY THEM AFTER THE BANQUET
JOB 1: 5
We have to be careful about what we do when we have social meet ups
A banquet is a celebrated mode of action amongst friend’s and relatives
There are many thing’s that people do whenever they have social meet ups.
Some social meet ups or banquets in celebration are characterised by music, dance drinking wine e t c and sometimes we sin before the LORD as confounded in these celebrations
Job’s son’s usually would hold banquets on various occasions whenever they would wish.
* When job’s seven son’s had banquets they would always invite their three sisters to be part of those banquets which they organise however job as a man who fears the LORD would do something to them after every banquet that they had .Job 1:4[4]His sons used to go and feast in the house of each on his day (birthday) in turn, and they invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them. [Gen. 21:8; 40:20.]
He would purify them so that if in any case they may have sinned before the LORD they would be forgiven Job 1:5[5]And when the days of their feasting were over, Job sent for them to purify and hallow 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 cursed or disowned God in their hearts. Thus did Job at all [such] times.
