1. Job submits himself unto God
7. God, preferring Job's cause, makes his friends submit themselves, and accepts him
10. He magnifies and blesses Job
16. Job's age and death














He named his first daughter Jemimah
The name Jemimah is believed to mean "dove" or "day" in Hebrew, symbolizing peace, beauty, and purity. In the cultural context of the ancient Near East, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes prophetic or indicative of the parents' hopes for the child. The dove is a symbol of peace and the Holy Spirit in the Bible, as seen in the account of Noah's Ark (Genesis 8:8-12) and the baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:16). Jemimah's name may reflect the restoration and peace that Job experienced after his trials, aligning with the theme of divine restoration and blessing.

his second Keziah
Keziah is a name that means "cassia," a type of spice similar to cinnamon, known for its fragrance and value. In biblical times, spices were highly prized and often used in anointing oils and perfumes, as seen in Exodus 30:24. The mention of Keziah highlights the renewed prosperity and blessing in Job's life, as spices were associated with wealth and abundance. The use of such a name may also suggest the sweet and pleasing nature of Job's restored family life, echoing the transformation from suffering to blessing.

and his third Keren-happuch
Keren-happuch translates to "horn of eye-paint" or "horn of antimony," referring to a cosmetic used in the ancient world to enhance the eyes. This name suggests beauty and adornment, indicating that Job's daughters were not only blessed with material wealth but also with physical beauty. The use of cosmetics was common in ancient cultures, as seen in 2 Kings 9:30, where Jezebel paints her eyes. The name Keren-happuch may symbolize the outward manifestation of God's favor and the inner beauty of a life restored by divine grace. The mention of Job's daughters by name, and their inheritance alongside their brothers (Job 42:15), underscores the theme of equality and the breaking of cultural norms, reflecting the comprehensive nature of God's restoration.

Teaching Points
The Significance of Names
In biblical times, names held deep meaning and often reflected character or destiny. Job's daughters' names symbolize peace, value, and beauty, indicating God's blessings and the restoration of joy in Job's life.

God's Restoration
Job's account illustrates that God can restore and bless abundantly after a period of suffering. It encourages believers to trust in God's timing and faithfulness.

Value of Women in Scripture
The mention of Job's daughters by name and their inheritance (as noted in the following verses) highlights the value and honor given to women, which was counter-cultural at the time.

Endurance Through Trials
Job's life is a powerful example of enduring faith. Believers are encouraged to remain steadfast in trials, trusting that God sees and will ultimately bring restoration.(14) Jemima.--This name perhaps means as fair as the day.

Kezia--i.e., cassia, an aromatic bark, much prized by the ancients. (See Psalm 45:9.)

Kerenhappuch--i.e., the horn for containing kohl for the eyes. The Eastern women are in the habit of painting the upper part of the eyelids with stibium, so that a black edge is formed about them and they seem larger. (See 2Kings 9:30; Jeremiah 4:30.) The meaning of this name is the paint-box for this purpose.

Verse 14. - And he called the name of the first, Jemima. The name "Jemima" is probably derived from yom (יום), "day," and means "Fair as the day." And the name of the second, Kesia. "Kezia" (rather, "Keziah") was the Hebrew name of the spice which the Greeks and Romans called "cassia," a spice closely allied to cinnamon, and much esteemed in the East (see Herod., 3:110). And the name of the third, Keren-happuch; literally, horn of stibium - stibium being the dye (antimony) with which Oriental women have from a remote antiquity been in the habit of anointing the upper and lower eyelids in order to give lustre to the eye (compare the 'Pulpit Commentary' on the 'Second Book of Kings,' p. 194). The three names, according to Oriental notions, implied either sweetness or beauty.
