Old Testament
Keziah
One of the three daughters born to Job after his restoration, noted for her beauty and inheritance.
Keziah is identified in the final chapter of the Book of Job as the second daughter born to Job following his period of suffering. Her name, meaning 'cassia,' reflects the restoration of Job's family and prosperity by God. She is significant for being granted an inheritance alongside her brothers, an unusual practice in ancient Israel that highlights the unique blessing bestowed upon Job's household.
