Children of the east country.
 The tribal people living between Palestine and Mesopotamia (see Gen. 29:1; Judges 6:3, 33; 7:12; 8:10). They are spoken of as dwelling in tents (Jer. 49:28, 29). Job was one of them (Job 1:3).
Wisdom of Egypt.
The wisdom of Egypt was famous throughout the East. It included such fields as astronomy, medicine, architecture, mathematics, music, painting, embalming, and mystic philosophy. A wealth of the so-called wisdom literature of Egypt has survived.
