===>YHWH and Satan JOINTLY accomplished something:
Job had "Seven sons and three daughters", and
"His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen,
500 female donkeys, and very many servants"
And the team of YHWH and Satan KILLED AND DESTROYED THEM ALL!

THAT was quite an accomplishment from YHWH, SATAN & CO.,
do you disagree?
