Specialty Definition: Jemima

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Jemima (also written Jemimah), was one of the three daughters of Job named as given to him in the latter part of his life, after God made Job prosperous again. Jemimah's sisters are named as Keziah and Keren-Happuch.

In the book of Job (42 vs.15) it mentions:

Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
This is of interest as Job's sons are not named.
