Job 1:5

And when the days of the banquet were completed, 1 Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, 1 And offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, 1 And one calf for a sin offering for their souls: 1 For Job said, Lest peradventure my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. 1 Thus then Job did continually. 1
