After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his prosperity and doubled his previous possessions.^(g)

All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances^(h) came to his house and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a qesitah^[e](i) and a gold earring.^(j)

So the Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

He also had seven sons and three daughters.

He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.^(k)

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

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

Then Job died, old and full of days.^(l)
