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 as the first of Job's daughters: "The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch" .<br><br><b>Etymology and Meaning</b><br><br>The name Jemimah is of Hebrew origin, and it is often understood to mean "dove" or "daylight." The imagery associated with a dove is one of peace, purity, and beauty, which may reflect the renewed blessings and tranquility in Job's life after his trials. The association with daylight could symbolize a new beginning or the dawn of a new era for Job and his family.<br><br><b>Biblical Context</b><br><br>Jemimah's mention comes at the conclusion of the Book of Job, a poetic and philosophical text that explores themes of suffering, divine justice, and restoration. After enduring severe trials, including the loss of his children, Job remains faithful to God. In response, God restores Job's fortunes, granting him twice as much as he had before (<a href="/job/42-10.htm">Job 42:10</a>). As part of this restoration, Job is blessed with seven sons and three daughters, with Jemimah being the firstborn daughter.<br><br><b>Significance</b><br><br>The mention of Jemimah and her sisters is notable for several reasons. Firstly, the text highlights their beauty: "Nowhere in all the land were found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers" (<a href="/job/42-15.htm">Job 42:15</a>). This emphasis on their beauty and the fact that they received an inheritance alongside their brothers is significant, as it reflects a departure from the typical customs of the time, where daughters were not usually granted such rights.<br><br>The inclusion of Jemimah and her sisters in the narrative underscores the completeness of Job's restoration. It also serves as a testament to God's abundant blessings and the restoration of Job's family line. The fact that they are named and described in the text highlights their importance and the joy they brought to Job's life after his period of suffering.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, Jemimah's account is a testament to God's faithfulness and the hope of restoration. Her presence in the narrative serves as a reminder that God can bring beauty and blessing out of suffering and loss. The restoration of Job's family, including the birth of Jemimah, symbolizes the renewal and continuation of life, reflecting God's grace and mercy.<br><br>Jemimah's account, though brief, is a powerful illustration of the themes of redemption and divine favor. Her life, along with her sisters', stands as a testament to the transformative power of God's love and the hope of new beginnings for those who remain steadfast in their faith.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">JEMIMAH</span><p>je-mi'-ma (yemimah, perhaps a diminutive meaning "little dove"): The first daughter of Job (42:14), born after his restoration from affliction.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3224.htm"><span class="l">3224.
