From Genesis 1, it does start to state what you say:
""
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

But then...
""
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
""
What does it mean for those spirits to "increase in number, fill the earth", if they were all made previously?
Here, it seems to me like they mean actual humans on the face of the planet Earth, not just spirits.
So I'm led to think that Job's post rationalization missed a part.
Can you clarify?
Hmmm... I did not know that.
Can you give me the chronology for all the books in the OT, please?

Doesn't this go against the paragraph 28 I quoted before?
