Who or what is this?

Keziah (spelled Kezia in the KJV) was the second of three daughters born to Job after his restoration, named alongside her sisters Jemimah and Keren-happuch in Job 42. Her name means cassia, a fragrant spice used in the anointing oil and associated with luxury. The text notes that Job's daughters were the most beautiful women in all the land and that their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers, an unusual provision that underscores the completeness of Job's restoration. No further details about Keziah's life appear in the biblical record.
