Overview
Kezia (also spelled Keziah) appears in Job 42:14 as one of Job's three daughters born after the Lord restored his fortunes. Her name means "cassia," a fragrant spice, symbolizing beauty and value. She and her sisters received an unusual inheritance alongside their brothers, indicating Job's generous and countercultural treatment of women.

"Their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers" (Job 42:15, ESV).
Application
Kezia's story reminds believers that God's restoration includes families and future generations, and that true blessing encompasses valuing all people regardless of gender.
