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 (<a href="/genesis/8-8.htm">Genesis 8:8-12</a>) and the baptism of Jesus (<a href="/matthew/3-16.htm">Matthew 3:16</a>). Jemimah's name may reflect the restoration and peace that Job experienced after his trials, aligning with the theme of divine restoration and blessing.<p><b>his second Keziah</b><br>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 <a href="/exodus/30-24.htm">Exodus 30:24</a>. 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.<p><b>and his third Keren-happuch</b><br>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 <a href="/2_kings/9-30.htm">2 Kings 9:30</a>, 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 (<a href="/job/42-15.htm">Job 42:15</a>), underscores the theme of equality and the breaking of cultural norms, reflecting the comprehensive nature of God's restoration.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man of great faith and patience, who endured immense suffering and was ultimately restored by God.
