Job 42:13

[Kathryn]

Guys, I would like to discuss something that I don't understand. I understand everything about the book of Job except this verse where YHWH provides Job with new children. I understand He did do exactly what he said He would but what I can't understand is why would YHWH treat children as replaceable. They are not the original children. It makes sense to suffer losing objects and wealth and to even never even have them replaced. Things can easily be replaced and they don't matter in the end. I just want to understand how YHWH could view humans as something that can just be replaced with new ones. It makes me think that the original ones didn't really matter. Sort of like they were on the same level as a house or a car, or a book. I do not understand guys. 

I can have a cat figurine and somebody breaks it then they order one that looks like the original one. But it wasn't restored, it was replaced.

New Testament examples 

Mark 5:41–42, Luke 8:54–55, Matthew 9:25, Luke 7:14–15, John 11:43–44

YHWH has resurrected people in the bible. 

Old Testament examples 

1 Kings 17:21–22, 2 Kings 4:32–35, 2 Kings 4:35–36,2 Kings 13:20–21,Ezekiel 37:5–6, Ezekiel 37:10

Why Didn't He resurrect Jobs original family? If He wanted to give double he could have even added a few brand new members. I don't understand

God resurrected Job's original family members.

Job's children were resurrected and given new names by Job. His daughters were the 3 fairest in the land, this word fair means 'bright' as in shiny. Noah also had a bright complexion. When we as believers are resurrected by God (our Father, like Job was a father), we are also given a new name and a shining, glorified complexion. Hope this helps.
