When did Job live? [ . . . ] R. Abba bar Kahana said: He lived in the time of Jacob. As R. Abba bar Kahana taught: Dinah was the wife of Job, as it is written concerning the wife of Job: You speak like one of the foolish women [nevalot] (Job 2:10). And as it is written concerning Dinah: For he had committed an outrage [nevalah] in Israel (Genesis 34:7).”
