Keziah
Keziah (Hebrew: קְצִיעָה Qəṣī‘ā; Greek: Κασία, Kasia; also Ketziah) is a woman in the
Keren-Happuch
.
The name Keziah means 'cinnamon bark’, referring to the Hebrew word ‘to scrape off’.[1]. Job gave the name to one of his daughters born after his restoration following the trials he faced in the first part of his life. The name has been taken to symbolize female equality, since all of Job's three daughters received an inheritance from their father, an unusual circumstance in a time period when women and men were not treated equally.[1]
