Context of Job 42:14
12The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. 13He had seven sons and three daughters. He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. 15In all the land no women were found so fair as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. 16After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.

Commentaries on Job 42:14
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14The name of the first Jemima - ימימה yemimah, days upon days. Kezia - קציעה ketsiah, cassia, a well-known aromatic plant. And, Keren-happuch - הפוך קרן keren happuch, the inverted or flowing horn, cornucopiae, the horn of plenty. The Chaldee will not permit these names to pass without a comment, to show the reason of their imposition: "He called the first Jemimah, because she was as fair as the day; the second Ketsiah, because she was as precious as…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14And he called the name of the first, Jemima - It is remarkable that in the former account of the family of Job, the names of none of his children are mentioned, and in this account the names of the daughters only are designated. “Why” the names of the daughters are here specified, is not intimated. They are significant, and they are “so” mentioned as to show that they contributed greatly to the happiness of Job on the return of his prosperity, and were…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-17Verses 10-17 In the beginning of this book we had Job's patience under his troubles, for an example; here, for our encouragement to follow that example, we have his happy end. His troubles began in Satan's malice, which God restrained; his restoration began in God's mercy, which Satan could not oppose. Mercy did not return when Job was disputing with his friends, but when he was praying for them. God is served and pleased with our warm devotions, not with…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14The names of Job’s new daughters reflect his good fortune God had renewed: Jemimah means “dove” (see Song 2:14). Keziah means “cassia” or “cinnamon flower” (see Psalm 45:8). Keren-happuch means “horn of antimony,” which is a shiny container for make-up.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1414. Names significant of his restored prosperity (Ge 4:25; 5:29). Jemima--"daylight," after his "night" of calamity; but Maurer, "a dove." Kezia--"cassia," an aromatic herb (Psa 45:8), instead of his offensive breath and ulcers. Keren-happuch--"horn of stibium," a paint with which females dyed their eyelids; in contrast to his "horn defiled in the dust" (Job 16:15). The names also imply the beauty of his daughters.Read the comment
