Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 42:14

"And he called the name of the first, Jemimah: and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch." — Job 42:14 (ASV)

Jemima. — This name perhaps means as fair as the day.

Kezia — i.e., cassia, an aromatic bark, much prized by the ancients. .

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 2 Kings 9:30; Jeremiah 4:30). The meaning of this name is the paint-box for this purpose.
