Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קָצַע (qatsa), meaning "to scrape off" or "to cut off." The name is associated with the aromatic spice cassia, which is obtained by scraping the bark of the cassia tree.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Ketsiah, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of aromatic spices like cassia can be related to Greek terms for spices and perfumes used in the New Testament, though these are not direct equivalents.

Usage: Ketsiah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of one of Job's daughters.

Context: Ketsiah is mentioned in the Book of Job as one of the three daughters born to Job after his restoration. Her name, along with her sisters Jemimah and Keziah, is noted for its significance and the beauty it implies. In Job 42:14 (BSB), it is written: "He named the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch." The name Ketsiah, meaning "cassia," reflects the cultural and economic value of the spice in ancient times, often used in perfumes and anointing oils. The mention of Job's daughters by name, which is uncommon in the genealogical records of the Old Testament, highlights their importance and the restoration of Job's fortunes. The choice of such a name may also symbolize the renewed fragrance and joy in Job's life after his trials.
