Kerenhappuch

Keren-happuch (Hebrew: קֶרֶן הַפּוּךְ‎ Qeren Happūḵ, Hebrew pronunciation: [ˈqeren hapˈpux], "Horn of kohl") was the youngest of the three beautiful daughters of Job, named in the Bible as given to him in the later part of his life, after God made Job prosperous again. Keren-happuch's older sisters are named as Jemima and Keziah (Job 42:14). Job's sons, in contrast, are not named.

 

Kohl has also been used in India as a cosmetic for a long time. In addition, mothers would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. Some did this to "strengthen the child's eyes", and others believed it could prevent the child from being cursed by the evil eye.[1]

 

Ancient Egyptian women wearing kohl, from a tomb mural in Thebes (1420–1375 BCE).

In Islam, Muhammad used kohl and recommended others to use it because he believed that it was beneficial for the eyes[18] based on the following saying by him: "One of the best kinds of kohl that you use is Ithmid (antimony); it brightens the vision and makes the hair (eye-lashes) grow"[19] and he "used to apply kohl to his right eye three times, and to his left eye twice."[18] It is used by many Muslim men today during Ramadan as a sign of devotion[20][21][22] although the practice is not universally agreed upon as being based on authentic sources.[23]

According to the Hebrew Bible, the Zuzim or Zuzites (meaning "restless" or "roaming") were a tribe who lived in Ham, a land east of the Jordan River between Bashan and Moab. The Zuzim were conquered by the Elamite King Chedorlaomer (Genesis 14:5). Many scholars identify the Zuzim with the Zamzummim (Deuteronomy 2:20), a tribe of the Rephaim living in the same region as the Zuzim and later occupied by the Ammonites. In Hebrew "Zuz" represents the root "z'z" which means, "to move" and is likely associated with the Ancient Egyptian "s's" meaning, "to move on foot" as in the "ssw" or Shasu. The Shasu and Zuzim may be one and the same if one considers their close proximity to the Horites "Kharu" and Hebrews "Habiru" as they are described in Egyptian lists.

He

that

he

seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

And God

said,

 

Let us

 make man

 

in

our

image,

 

after

 

our

likeness:

 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,

and over the cattle,

and over all the earth,

and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

 

 

And God blessed

them,

and God said unto them,

 

Be fruitful,

 

and multiply,

and replenish the earth,

and subdue it:

and have dominion over the fish of the sea,

and over the fowl of the air,

And the

Where

is

Abel thy brother?

 

And he said,

I

know not:

 

Am I

my brother's keeper?

*

and

Ham is

the

father

of

Canaan.

 

*

Canaan,

saw

the nakedness of

his father,

*

Make thee an ark of gopher wood;

rooms shalt thou make in the ark,

 

and shalt pitch it within

 

and without with pitch.

*

 

And said,

Whose daughter art thou?

tell me,

I

pray thee:

is there

room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?

 

*

In

mine ears

 

said

the

Lord of hosts,

 

Of a truth many houses shall be desolate,

even

great and fair,

 

without inhabitant.

 

Yea,

ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,

and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

 

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning,

 

that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

 

*

 

*

and

told his two

 

brethren without.

*

Ham is

*

And Shem and Japheth took a garment,

*

Unto Shem also,

the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder,

even

to

him

were children born.

 

*

and

blessed

them,

and

called

their

name

 

Adam,

in

the day when they were created.

 

*

and

laid it

 upon

both

their shoulders,

*

which the waters brought forth abundantly,

after their kind,

*

and went backward,

 

and covered the nakedness

of

their father;

*

and

if thou

doest not well,

sin lieth at the door.

*

For

he said,

Surely they are my people, children that will not lie:

 

so he

was

their Saviour.

In all their affliction he was afflicted,

*

So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

 

*

and

the

angel

of

his

presence

saved

them:

in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;

 

and

he

bare them,

and carried them all the days of old.

There

was a man

 

in the land of Uz,

whose name was Job;

 

and

that man was perfect

 

*

 

And Abel,

 

he also

brought of

the firstlings

of

his flock

 

and of the fat thereof.

*

 

 

His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen,

and five hundred she asses, and a very great household;

so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

*

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind,

and cattle after their kind,

and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind:

 and God saw that it was good.

 

*

And his sons

 

went and feasted in their houses, every one his day;

and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

And it was so,

when the days of their feasting were gone about,

 

that Job

sent

and

sanctified

them,

*

 

And the children of Aram;

Uz,

and Hul,

 and Gether,

and Mash.

 

And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

 

And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg;

for in his days was the earth divided;

 

and his brother's name was Joktan.

And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph,

and Hazarmaveth,

and Jerah,

 

And Hadoram,

 and Uzal,

and Diklah,

 

And Obal,

and Abimael,

and Sheba,

And Ophir,

and Havilah,

and Jobab:

 all these were the sons of Joktan.

 

And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

 

These are the sons of Shem,

after their families,

after their tongues,

in their lands,

after their nations.

 

 

and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all:

*

for Job

said,

It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.

Thus did Job continually.

 

And there

were born

unto

him

 

seven sons

and

three daughters.

    

His substance also was seven thousand sheep,

and three thousand camels,

and five hundred yoke of oxen,

and five hundred she asses,

and a very great household;

 

so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

 

    And his sons went and feasted in their houses,

every one his day;

 

and sent

*

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden,

to till the ground from whence

 

he was taken.

*

And Abel,

 

he

also

brought

of

the firstlings

of

his flock

 

and of the fat thereof.

 

 

*

Male

and female

 

created

he them;

 

and

blessed them,

 

and

called their name Adam,

 

 

in

the

day when

they

were created.

their

three sisters

according to the number of them all:

 

for Job

said,

Thus did Job continually.

 

**

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

 

and that

every imagination

of

the thoughts

of

his

heart

 was only

evil continually.

 

*

and said,

I

have gotten a man from the Lord.

***

And Cush begat Nimrod: . . . he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

*

And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh,

in the land of Shinar.

**

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth,

and it grieved him at his heart.

 

*

The depth saith,

It is not in me:

 

and the sea saith,

 

It is not with me.

 

It

cannot be gotten for gold,

neither

 

shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

 

It

cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir,

*

And Ophir,

and Havilah,

and Jobab:

all these were the sons of Joktan.

And their dwelling was from Mesha,

as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

 

*

with the precious

onyx,

*

Onyx stones,

and stones to be set in the ephod,

 

and in the breastplate.

 

And let them make me a sanctuary; that

I

 may dwell among them.

 

According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle,

 

and the pattern of all the instruments thereof,

even so shall ye make it.

 

*

or the

sapphire.

*

And

they

saw the

God of Israel:

 

and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

 

And upon the nobles of the children of Israel

he

laid

not his hand:

 

also

they saw God,

and did eat

and drink.

 

*

 

The gold and the crystal cannot equal it:

and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

 

No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls:

 

 

 

for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

 

The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it,

neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

*

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof,

then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good and evil.

 

*

 

Whence then cometh wisdom?

and where is the place of understanding?

Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living,

and kept close from the fowls of the air.

 

*

And Job spake,

and said,

Let the day perish wherein

 

I

was born,

 

and the night in which it was said,

There

is

a man child conceived.

 

Let that day be darkness;

 

let not God regard it from above,

 

neither let the light shine upon it.
