(13) He had also seven sons and three daughters. (14) And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. (15) And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
It is remarkable that Job should have a second family of children, and the same in number and in sex as he had before. But this was GOD'S grace and love. The names of his daughters are given, because they were not without signification. Jemima signified the day; perhaps in allusion to a new day broke in upon Job's soul. Kezia signified a fragrant spice. Poor Job in his sorrows had been upon a dunghill. Kerenhappuch meant plenty and plentiful indeed were his supplies. The beauty of those women is spoken of also. This suited the old dispensation before the gospel. We read of the wives of the Patriarchs being fair, Sarah, and Rebekah, and Rachel; but no mention is made in the New Testament of the beauty of women. The beauty of holiness is the spiritual adorning, both of men and women, in the Gospel Church, and that is all in and from JESUS. Of him we truly read, that he was fairer than the sons of men, because grace was poured into his lips: and in him his Church is fair also. Psalms 45:2.Song of Solomon 4:7.
