11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house.

14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
15 In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
