Wondering where/why you believe Job was not a jew?
It seems it would take more effort to turn him into a gentile (for what reason one would, is curious in itself) than based on *scripture-Job is following such.

He was offering sacrifices as they do- to God.
Not a god, but God. Infact GOD VISITS JOB, BEFORE HIS FACE. WOAH. <<<

Gen 10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.


Gen 10:21 ¶ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.


Gen 10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.


Gen 10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

Job would have been on soil/land historically from the children of God.

Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Ezr 3:2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of [their] feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
