Keziah

Who is Keziah?

Keziah is a person in the Hebrew Bible. She was the second of the three daughters born to Job after his sufferings. Her sisters were Jemima and Keren-Happuch.

A number of etymologies have been suggested for her name, among them the Hebrew for Cassia, from the name for the spice tree. The name has been taken to symbolize female equality, since all of Job's three daughters received an inheritance from their father, an unusual circumstance in a time period when women and men were not treated equally.
