Does anyone know how to connect Ecclesiastes to the book of Job?
Well other than the fact that they're part of the same part of the Tanakh, namely Ketuvim, or Wisdom Writings.
There's a certain sin which Job commits to which Ecclesiastes speaks of.
Do you know what it is
Or rather, to make it simpler:
Do you know what Job's sin was at all?
Yep; but there's a specific way in which he did so.
Do you think that Job's friends sinned?
Do you know how?
Yeah but how did his friends sin?
Not entirely; I'll let you know
Both Job and his friends sinned in the same manner.
They thought they knew God. They thought that God worked like a machine; Sin = Punishment, Virtue = Reward
That God owed Job something. That's Job's sin.
On the flip side, Job's friends also thought they knew God.
They thought that since Job had been suffering, HE MUST'VE done something wrong. They were right but, not entirely. In this assumption they were also sinning.
And this is explained in the book of Ecclesiastes:
Bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people.
There's no karmic justice in our Canon.
But that doesn't mean there isn't justice in general.
A blacksmith doesn't gently caress his sword hoping the sword will be good.
A blacksmith hammers the impurities out of it any way he can so that the sword remains good, not too soft but not too brittle, for its duration.
He was refering to something else from the Ketuvim.
In Proverbs.
Man my net is crap, care to repeat that in a moment?
Give it like 2 minutes
Oh yeah.

i remember doing this with cows
how do they not cram?
multiples can take up the same space
when the concentration of animals per block is low, they repel each other
makes sense
but if you just keep feeding them they start to fuse
sort of
i mean when they keep reproducing
