The name Oholibamah means "tent of the high place," which may suggest a connection to religious or cultic practices. In the context of <a href="/genesis/36.htm">Genesis 36</a>, Oholibamah is also the name of one of Esau's wives, indicating the integration of familial and tribal leadership. This reflects the patriarchal and tribal society of the time, where family ties were crucial for political and social structure. The mention of Oholibamah highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, as Esau's descendants become the Edomites, a significant group in the Old Testament.<p><b>Elah</b><br>Elah is another chief of Edom, and the name means "oak" or "terebinth," which are trees often associated with strength and endurance. The use of such names may reflect the characteristics or aspirations of the individuals or their tribes. Elah's inclusion in the list of chiefs underscores the structured leadership within the Edomite society. The Edomites, living in the region south of the Dead Sea, were known for their interactions and conflicts with the Israelites, as seen in other parts of the Old Testament, such as in the books of Kings and Chronicles.<p><b>Pinon</b><br>Pinon is listed as a chief of Edom, and while there is limited information about this individual, the name itself may be linked to a location or a characteristic of the person or tribe. The mention of Pinon, along with other chiefs, illustrates the organized tribal system of Edom, which was a common societal structure in the ancient Near East. The Edomites, as descendants of Esau, had a complex relationship with the Israelites, often marked by both kinship and conflict. This dynamic is explored throughout the biblical narrative, providing insight into the broader historical and cultural interactions of the time.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/o/oholibamah.htm">Oholibamah</a></b><br>- One of Esau's wives, a Hittite woman, and the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
