As a person, Teman is a descendant of Esau, the son of Eliphaz, and a chief of the Edomites (Genesis 36:11, 15). As a region, Teman refers to a district in Edom, known for its wise men (Jeremiah 49:7) and its geographical location in the southern part of Edom.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Teman was a significant region in Edom, a nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother. The Edomites were often in conflict with Israel, and Teman was known for its wisdom and might. The region's name, meaning "south," reflects its geographical position relative to Israel. Teman's reputation for wisdom is highlighted in the book of Obadiah and Jeremiah, where the wisdom of its inhabitants is noted.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/3225.htm">yamin</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a N. district of Edom, also an Edomite chief<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Teman (12).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">תֵּימָן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name</b></font> (<font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>masculine</b></font> and) <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a northern district of Edom</b></font>, poetic often = Edom <a href="/interlinear/amos/1-12.htm">Amos 1:12</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">אֱדוֺם</font> vAmos 1:11, and <font class="hebrew2">בָּצְרָה</font>), Obadiah 9 ("" <font class="hebrew2">הַרעֵֿשָׂו</font>), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7,20</a>;
