Names of Beauty and Joy
Commentators universally agree that the names of Job's new daughters are significant. Jemima means "Day," symbolizing Job's emergence from the night of suffering. Kezia means "Cassia," a fragrant spice, signifying pleasantness and value. Keren-happuch means "Horn of Antimony," a cosmetic used to beautify the eyes. These names reflect the immense beauty and joy his daughters brought him.
