Job 42:13-16

42:13 And he also had seven sons ¹  and three daughters. 42:14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, ²  the second Keziah, ³  and the third Keren-Happuch. ⁴  42:15 Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers.

42:16 After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

[42:13]  ¹ tn The word for “seven” is spelled in an unusual way. From this some have thought it means “twice seven,” or fourteen sons. Several commentators take this view; but it is probably not warranted.

[42:14]  ² sn The Hebrew name Jemimah means “dove.”

[42:14]  ³ sn The Hebrew name Keziah means “cassia.”

[42:14]  ⁴ sn The Hebrew name Keren-Happuch means “horn of eye-paint.”
