Job, the Other First Book of the Bible, was Probably Moses' Neighbor in Yah in the Land of Median (Midian)
I have said that Exodus was the first Book of the Bible, for Moses experienced Exodus before he wrote Genesis. Genesis is what Moses learned in Exodus. Even before Moses experienced Exodus, he lived among proto-Arabic speaking Medianites (Midianites), perhaps in Yah, near or the same land as Uz, the home of Job. According to Bullinger's calculations in The Companion Bible (pg. 666 and 667), Moses may have known Job for the last fifteen years of his life, might have witnessed the actual events described, and might actually have authored the Book of Job. The life of Job, if not purely philosophical, would have been the inspiration leading to Exodus and Genesis.
What Job had and Moses witnessed and developed, the religion of the Yahites*, is what I would like to get back to. Someone there knew that the love of God is a two-way street. I fancy myself something of a missionary for the ancient Aramaic Church, but that church of Jesus Christ in the Season of Grace was an expression of the belief in the land of Uz/Median back in the days of Job and Moses.
*I do not know the actual name of the land.
