Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Job 42
Who were the three daughters of Job?
How can Job's fortunes in Job 42 be restored so easily, despite the irreversible trauma and loss he suffered earlier?
Does Job 14:1-2's portrayal of life as short and full of trouble conflict with biblical passages that promise long life and blessings?
Does Job 14:14's question 'If someone dies, will they live again?' indicate uncertainty about resurrection, challenging other parts of the Bible that teach it?(14) Jemima.--This name perhaps means as fair as the day.Kezia--i.e.,cassia, an aromatic bark, much prized by the ancients. (SeePsalm 45:9.) 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. (See2Kings 9:30;Jeremiah 4:30.) The meaning of this name is the paint-box for this purpose. Verse 14. - And he called the name of the first, Jemima. The name "Jemima" is probably derived from yom ( יום), "day," and means "Fair as the day." And the name of the second, Kesia. "Kezia" (rather, "Keziah") was the Hebrew name of the spice which the Greeks and Romans called "cassia," a spice closely allied to cinnamon, and much esteemed in the East (see Herod., 3:110). And the name of the third, Keren-happuch; literally, hornof stibium - stibium being the dye (antimony) with which Oriental women have from a remote antiquity been in the habit of anointing the upper and lower eyelids in order to give lustre to the eye (compare the 'Pulpit Commentary' on the 'Second Book of Kings,' p. 194). The three names, according to Oriental notions, implied either sweetness or beauty.
