His name means "God is fine gold" or "God is my strength." Eliphaz is often considered the most prominent and possibly the eldest of Job's friends, as he is the first to speak. His speeches are characterized by a mix of traditional wisdom and personal experience, reflecting the belief systems of the time.<br><br>The Temanite: Eliphaz is identified as a Temanite, indicating his origin from Teman, a region associated with Edom. Teman was known for its wise men, as referenced in <a href="/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7</a> and <a href="/obadiah/1-8.htm">Obadiah 1:8-9</a>. This association with wisdom adds weight to Eliphaz's words, as he is expected to speak with authority and insight. The Edomites were descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother, which places Eliphaz within a broader biblical narrative of familial and national relationships.<br><br>Replied: The use of "replied" indicates that Eliphaz is responding to Job's previous discourse. This is part of a larger dialogue structure in the Book of Job, where Job's friends take turns speaking, and Job responds. The dialogues are a key feature of the book, showcasing the struggle to understand suffering and divine justice. Eliphaz's reply is part of the second cycle of speeches, where the friends become increasingly critical of Job, reflecting the intensifying debate over the nature of righteousness and suffering.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/eliphaz.htm">Eliphaz</a></b><br>One of Job's three friends who comes to comfort him.

Job, as setting up to be "a wise man," should not have indulged in such empty and foolish speaking. It is observable that Eliphaz does not point out what part of Job's discourses he considers objectionable, but condemns the whole of them under this broad and general description, which even he could not have regarded as applicable to more than a portion of what Job had said. <span class="cmt_word">And fill his belly with the east wind?</span> The east wind was regarded as the worst of winds. In Palestine it blew from the great Syrian and North Arabian desert, and was of the nature of a sirocco.
