He believes the resurrection My kinsmen have failed me In the ancient Near Eastern culture, family ties were of utmost importance, providing social, economic, and emotional support.

In biblical context, family was expected to be a source of refuge and strength, as seen in the story of Ruth and Naomi. Job's experience can be contrasted with the faithfulness of family members in other biblical narratives, emphasizing the severity of his plight.
