Job 42:14

“And he called the name of the first Jemima, etc.] That is, the name of the first and eldest daughter was called by Job Jemima; which either signifies “day”, so the Targum interprets it, and most do, and so is the same with Diana; or, as Spanheim f1603 observes, it may be the same with the Arabic word “jemama”, which signifies a turtle or dove f1604; and who also observes that a country in Arabia is so called, and perhaps from her; and which seems to be confirmed by the Arabic geographer f1605, who speaks of a queen called Jamama, who dwelt in a city of the country he describes as being on the north of Arabia Felix, and also speaks of a way from thence to Bozrah in Edom; and the name of the…”

“Names significant of his restored prosperity (Gen 4:25; Gen 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.”

“And he called the name of the first, Jemima - It is remarkable that in the former account of the family of Job, the names of none of his children are mentioned, and in this account the names of the daughters only are designated. “Why” the names of the daughters are here specified, is not intimated. They are significant, and they are “so” mentioned as to show that they contributed greatly to the happiness of Job on the return of his prosperity, and were among the chief blessings which gladdened his old age. The name Jemima (ימימה yemı̂ymâh) is rendered by the Vulgate “Diem,” and by the Septuagint, Ἡμέραν Hēmeran, “Day.” The Chaldee adds this remark: “He gave her the name Jemima, because…”

“Jemima - The day, either because of her eminent beauty, or because she was born in the day of his prosperity, after a dark night of affliction. Kezia is the name of a spice of a very fragrant smell, commonly called Cassia. Keren - happuch signifies plenty restored. Job 42:15”

“42:14 The beautiful names of Job’s new daughters spoke of Job’s renewed and pleasant good fortunes. • Jemimah means “dove” (see Song 2:14). • Keziah means “cassia” or “cinnamon flower” (see Ps 45:8). • Keren-happuch means “horn of antimony,” which refers to a lustrous container for cosmetics.”

“14 And the one was called Jemma, and the second Kezia, and the third Keren ha-pch. The subject of ויּקרא is each and every one, as Isa 9:5 (comp. supra, Job 41:25, existimaverit quis). The one was called ימימה (Arab. jemâme, a dove) on account of her dove's eyes; the other קציעה, cassia, because she seemed to be woven out of the odour of cinnamon; and the third קרן הפּוּך, a horn of paint (lxx Hellenizing: κέρας ἀμαλθείας), which is not exactly beautiful in itself, but is the principal cosmetic of female beauty (vid., Lane, Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians, transl.): the third was altogether the most beautiful, possessing a beauty heightened by artificial means.
