Most of the commentaries on https://biblehub.com/commentaries/job/1-5.htm  
seem to give credit to Job for his act of offering burnt offerings in order to propitiate/expiate/atone for his children's sins.

However, I'm Not really all that satisfied with the said commentaries on biblehub.com because Job himself says to himself or sort of thinks out loud:

>Job 1:5b
>
>.......“**Perhaps** my sons have sinned and cursed God in
> their hearts.” Thus Job did continually....
>

To me, the aforementioned verse seems to suggest that Job is legalistic because he says "perhaps" his children sinned and cursed God.  It seems like Job is offering his sacrifices in a perfunctory and legalistic mechanical manner.

Could someone please provide their insight/interpretation/exegesis of said bible passage?
