Job42:14
14. Names significant of his restored prosperity (Ge 4:25; 5:29).
Jemima--"daylight," after his "night" of calamity; but Maurer, "a dove."
Kezia--"cassia," an aromatic herb (Psa 45:8), instead of his offensive breath and ulcers.
Keren-happuch--"horn of stibium," a paint with which females dyed their eyelids; in contrast to his "horn defiled in the dust" (Job 16:15). The names also imply the beauty of his daughters.
