Jemima (also written Jemimah, Template:Lang-he, Ymiymah ) was the oldest of the three beautiful daughters of Job, named as given to him in the later part of his life, after God made Job prosperous again. Jemima's younger sisters are named as Keziah and Keren-Happuch. Job's sons, in contrast, are not named. Her name in Hebrew means Dove, which symbolizes purity.

In Job 42:14 (ESV):

"And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch"
