In context

11And all his brethren and his sisters heard All that had happened to him, And they came to him, And so did all that had known him from the first: And they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, And wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: And each one gave him a lamb, and four drachma’s weight of gold, even of unstamped gold.

12And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning: And his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, Six thousand camels, A thousand yoke of oxen, A thousand she-asses of the pastures.

— Job 42:13 —

14And he called the first, Day, And the second, Keziah, And the third, Amalthaea’s horn.

15And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer women than they in all the world: And their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.
