The Edomites were descendants of Esau and often in conflict with Israel. Eliphaz's name means "God is pure gold," indicating a noble or strong character, which is reflected in the prominence of his descendants.<p><b>Teman:</b><br>Teman is often associated with wisdom and might, as seen in the Book of Job, where one of Job's friends is named Eliphaz the Temanite. The region of Teman was known for its wise men and is mentioned in prophetic literature, such as in Obadiah and Jeremiah, as a place of judgment against Edom.<p><b>Omar:</b><br>Little is known about Omar, but his inclusion in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in biblical narratives. The name Omar means "eloquent" or "speaker," suggesting a person of influence or communication.<p><b>Zepho:</b><br>Zepho, also known as Zephi in some translations, is another descendant of Eliphaz. His name means "watchtower" or "observer," which may imply a role of vigilance or oversight within the tribe.<p><b>Gatam:</b><br>Gatam is one of the lesser-known sons of Eliphaz. His name means "their touch" or "their reach," possibly indicating a person of connection or influence. The mention of Gatam underscores the comprehensive nature of genealogical records in Scripture.<p><b>Kenaz:</b><br>Kenaz is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, often associated with leadership and military prowess. The Kenizzites were a clan within Edom, and the name means "hunter" or "possessor." Kenaz's descendants include notable figures like Caleb, who played a significant role in the conquest of Canaan.<p><b>and by Timna, Amalek:</b><br>Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, and through her, he fathered Amalek. The Amalekites, descendants of Amalek, became one of Israel's most persistent enemies. The conflict between Israel and Amalek is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, symbolizing the ongoing struggle between God's people and their adversaries. Amalek's name means "dweller in a valley," and his lineage is often associated with hostility towards Israel, as seen in the battles during the Exodus and the time of King Saul.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/eliphaz.htm">Eliphaz</a></b><br>The firstborn son of Esau, who was the brother of Jacob.
