Job 42:14

Job 42:14

12 Now the Lord blessed ^athe latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had ^bfourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

13 ^aHe also had seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first¹ Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.

15 In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

16 After this Job ^alived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.
