The women of the account were essential to this lesson’s clarity, epitomizing both of its parts: the anxieties and failures of the Egyptians Sitidos and the maidservant embody the futility of clinging to acquired honor and the fate of Job’s Israelite daughters signals the merit of trusting in honor ascribed by God.
