Job 42:16

Job
Parents and childrenEternal life

14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.

15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.

After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

17 And so Job died, old and full of years.
