Context — The LORD Blesses Job
11All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
12So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
14He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch. 15No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.Cross References

Job 42:13 Summary
[This verse tells us that Job had seven sons and three daughters, which was a big blessing from God. Just like how God promised to bless Abraham and make him the father of many nations, as seen in Genesis 17:6, God blessed Job with a big family. Job's new family was a reminder that God is always with us, even when things seem tough, and He can bring good things out of hard times, as seen in Romans 8:28. This verse shows us that God is a God of restoration and blessing, and He wants to give us good things, just like He gave Job a new family.]

What can we learn from the fact that Job had daughters who were given an inheritance?

Gill's Exposition on Job 42:13
He had also seven sons, and three daughters. The same number of children, and of the same sort he had before, Job 1:2; and according to Nachman the very same he had before, which the additional
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 42:13
He had also seven sons and three daughters. The same number as before: perhaps by a second wife: in Job 19:17 his wife last mentioned.
Trapp's Commentary on Job 42:13
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.Ver. 13. He had also seven sons and three daughters] Whose perfections sweetened the sorrow which the loss of the other had caused him. -Sic uno avulso non deficit alter Aureus (Virg.). Ten children he had in heaven, and ten on earth. The Lord well knew that wealth would be nothing so comfortable to Job unless he had children to leave it to, Genesis 15:2. His wife therefore, returning to her duty from which she had swerved, became fruitful at an age well advanced; for we read not of any other that he had.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Job 42:13
Verse 13. Seven sons and three daughters.] This was the same number as before; and so the Vulgate, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic read: but the Chaldee doubles the sons, "And he had fourteen sons, and three daughters."
Cambridge Bible on Job 42:13
10–16. Job is restored to a prosperity double that which he formerly enjoyed; his former friends gather around him; he is again blessed with children; and dies, old and full of days.
Barnes' Notes on Job 42:13
He had also seven sons and three daughters - The same number which he had before his trials. Nothing is said of his wife, or whether these children were, or were not, by a second marriage.
Whedon's Commentary on Job 42:13
13. He had also seven sons and three daughters — The number of his children was not doubled; for the dead were with God. The omission is significant, and can only be accounted for by the belief in a reunion after death. (See p.
