“Chaldea” refers to the region of southern Mesopotamia around Babylon, whose raiders seized Job’s livestock; “the East” likely denotes peoples east of Job’s homeland, perhaps Arabian desert tribes. Their attacks, alongside natural disaster, show that Job’s losses came through multiple secondary causes, yet he did not charge God with wrongdoing.
