열왕기하 4:16 카발라: Zohar

To explain this we must go back to the tradition which says that he was the son of the Shunammite woman who befriended Elisha, and that his name contains an allusion to Elisha’s words, “about this set time, according to the time of life, thou wilt embrace (hobeketh) a son” (2 Kings 4, 16). The promise was fulfilled, but the child subsequently died. Why? Because it was given to her and not to her husband; it came from the “feminine” region alone, and everything emanating from the feminine principle ends in death.

His trials lasted twelve months, for this is the space of time allotted to the “other side”, as, according to tradition, sinners are judged in Gehenna for twelve months. And because Job did not attach himself to the “other side”, “the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning” (XLII, 12).
