520 |a Egyptians used tree imagery over a long period of ancient history in mythological portrayals of revivification in the afterlife, and this aspect of Osirian religion can be distinguished from other manifestations of trees in afterlife texts, including tree goddesses. Classical myths, amuletic finds, and onomàstic data all confirm that Osirian religion had an impact in the Levant during the period of Job's composition. The Book of Job shows a general awareness of Egyptian religion, and the biblical book's specific constellation of images related to trees and the hope for renewed life are most plausibly to be associated with the Egyptian mythemes described above. The recognition that Job toys with Egyptianizing ideas enriches the reader's sense of his theological audacity and complexity as a character.
