Jemima (also written Jemimah, {{lang-he|יְמִימָה}}, {{transl|he|ALA|Yemimah}}) was the oldest of the three beautiful daughters of Job, named in the Bible as given to him in the later part of his life, after God made Job prosperous again. Jemima's sisters are named as Keziah and Keren-Happuch. Job's sons, in contrast, are not named. Jemima, along with her sisters, was described as the most beautiful women in the land. Also, unusually and in common with her sisters, Jemima was granted an inheritance by her father, with her brothers as might have been expected ({{bibleverse||Job|42:15}}). Apart from these brief references at the end of the Book of Job, Jemima is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. Modern scholarship has cast doubt on the historical existence of the events described in the Book of Job.[1][2][3] The name Jemima means "turtledove".[4] In Job 42:14 (ESV): And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch Possible Arabian queenThe Christian theologian John Gill notes that Jemima may mean either "day" or "dove", the latter by association with the Arabic word {{lang|ar|يمامة}} {{transl|ar|ALA|yamāmah}}. Noting that there is a land in Arabia with the name al-Yamama, which had a queen called Zarqāʼ al-Yamāmah, he conjectures that the Biblical Jemima may be connected with the Yamamah of Arabic folklore.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|author=Carol A.
