Основная цель работы — проверить гипотезу о том, что оба автора, несмотря на значительный временной промежуток, опирались в большей степени не на каноническую Книгу Иова, а на независимую или более раннюю устную традицию, так называемую «легенду об Иове», которая легла в основу её пролога и эпилога. Методология исследования включает сравнительный анализ библейских текстов, интертекстуальный подход и критический разбор существующих научных интерпретаций, в частности аргументов К. А. Ричардсона. В результате демонстрируется, что Иезекииль является свидетелем существования легенды об Иове уже в период Вавилонского плена, а Иаков апеллирует к образу терпеливого Иова из народного предания, а не к бунтарскому герою поэтической части библейской книги. Особое внимание уделяется анализу возможных параллелей между текстами и доказательству отсутствия прямой зависимости авторов от канонического текста Книги Иова. Делается вывод о ценности этих упоминаний для реконструкции дописьменной истории образа Иова и об относительной независимости рецепции образа Иова в исследуемых текстах от канонической Книги Иова, что открывает новые перспективы для изучения формирования библейского канона.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines two “external” biblical references to Job outside the book named after him: in the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezek. 14:12–20) and in the Epistle of the Apostle James (Jas. 5:10–11). The main goal is to test the hypothesis that both authors, despite the significant time gap between them, relied to a greater extent not on the canonical Book of Job, but on an independent or earlier oral tradition, the so-called “legend of Job”, which formed the basis for its prologue and epilogue. The research methodology includes a comparative analysis of biblical texts, an intertextual approach, and a critical examination of existing scholarly interpretations, particularly the arguments of K. A. Richardson. The results demonstrate that Ezekiel provides the earliest evidence of the existence of the Job legend during the Babylonian exile, while James appeals to the image of the patient Job from folk tradition, not the rebellious hero of the biblical book’s poetic section. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of possible textual parallels and to proving the absence of the authors’ direct dependence on the canonical text of the Book of Job. The conclusion highlights the value of these references for reconstructing the pre-literary history of the figure of Job and points to the relative independence of the reception of Job in the analyzed texts from the canonical Book of Job, which opens new perspectives for studying the formation of the biblical canon.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>библеистика</kwd><kwd>интертекстуальность</kwd><kwd>Книга Иова</kwd><kwd>Иезекииль</kwd><kwd>Послание Иакова</kwd><kwd>легенда об Иове</kwd><kwd>устная традиция</kwd><kwd>рецепция образа</kwd><kwd>ветхозаветный канон</kwd><kwd>новозаветный канон</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Biblical Studies</kwd><kwd>Intertextuality</kwd><kwd>Book of Job</kwd><kwd>Ezekiel</kwd><kwd>Epistle of James</kwd><kwd>Legend of Job</kwd><kwd>Oral Tradition</kwd><kwd>Reception of a Character</kwd><kwd>Old Testament Canon</kwd><kwd>New Testament Canon</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Аверинцев С.
