Keren-Happuch, Job's third daughter (horn of antimony/eye paint)
Keren-Happuch, whose name means 'horn of antimony' or 'container of eye paint,' was the third daughter born to Job after his restoration. The name refers to a cosmetic container, suggesting beauty—fitting for a daughter described among the most beautiful women in the land. Along with her sisters Jemimah and Keziah, she received an inheritance alongside her brothers, an unusual honor in patriarchal society. Her name celebrates both beauty and the restoration of Job's fortunes.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Job 42:14 records both the name itself and its components ('horn' and 'antimony/eye paint' mentioned separately in some manuscript traditions). The name appears twice in the verse in different forms. Cross-linguistic transliterations vary slightly (Spanish 'Hapuc/Keren,' English 'Happukh/Qeren') but preserve the Hebrew. The cosmetic reference in the name contrasts sharply with Job's earlier suffering, symbolizing complete restoration and blessing. 2×
