She is one of the three daughters born to Job after his period of intense suffering and subsequent restoration by God. Her account is found in <a href="/job/42-14.htm">Job 42:14</a>, where she is listed alongside her sisters, Jemimah and Keren-happuch.<br><br><b>Biblical Account:</b><br><br>In the narrative of Job, after enduring severe trials and losing his wealth, health, and children, Job remains faithful to God. As a result, God restores Job's fortunes, granting him twice as much as he had before. In this period of restoration, Job is blessed with seven sons and three daughters. The daughters are named Jemimah, Keziah, and Keren-happuch. The Berean Standard Bible states: "The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch" (<a href="/job/42-14.htm">Job 42:14</a>).<br><br><b>Name Meaning and Significance:</b><br><br>The name Keziah is derived from the Hebrew word "קְצִיעָה" (Qetsiyah), which refers to the cassia plant, a type of spice similar to cinnamon. This name suggests a sense of fragrance and beauty, which is fitting given the description of Job's daughters. The choice of such a name may reflect the renewed blessings and the beauty of the life that God restored to Job.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Context:</b><br><br>In the cultural context of the ancient Near East, it was unusual for daughters to be named in genealogical records, as sons were typically emphasized for inheritance purposes. However, the Book of Job highlights the beauty and prominence of Job's daughters, stating, "No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers" (<a href="/job/42-15.htm">Job 42:15</a>). This detail underscores the extraordinary nature of Job's restoration and the favor bestowed upon his family.<br><br>From a theological perspective, the mention of Keziah and her sisters serves to illustrate the completeness of God's restoration. Not only were Job's material possessions and health restored, but his family was also blessed abundantly. The inclusion of his daughters in the inheritance further emphasizes the theme of divine justice and grace that permeates the Book of Job.<br><br><b>Legacy:</b><br><br>Keziah, along with her sisters, represents the culmination of Job's account of redemption and divine favor. Her presence in the biblical narrative serves as a testament to God's faithfulness and the restoration of what was lost. While the Bible does not provide further details about her life beyond her mention in <a href="/bsb/job/42.htm">Job 42</a>, Keziah remains a symbol of beauty, blessing, and the transformative power of God's grace.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">KEZIAH</span><p>ke-zi'-a (qetsi`ah, "cassia"; Kasia, Codex Alexandrinus, Kassia): The 2nd daughter of Job (<a href="/job/42-14.htm">Job 42:14</a>), born after his restoration from affliction.
