Job 42:14

Jemima. — This name perhaps means as fair as the day.

Kezia — i.e., cassia, an aromatic bark, much prized by the ancients. (See Psalms 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. (See 2 Kings 9:30; Jeremiah 4:30.) The meaning of this name is the paint-box for this purpose.
