1 Chronicles 1:36

“POSTERITY OF ABRAHAM BY ESAU. (Ch1 1:34-42) sons of Eliphaz--the tribe Adites, in the center country of the Saracens, so called from his mother, Adah (Gen 36:10). Teman--gave rise to the land of Teman, near the head of the Red Sea. Omar--the tribe Beni-Amma, settled at the northern point of Djebel Shera (Mount Seir). Zephi--the tribe Dzaf. Gatam--Katam, inhabited by the tribe Al Saruat, or "people of Sarah." Kenaz--the tribe Aenezes, a tribe whose settlement lies in the neighborhood of Syria. Amalek--the Beni Malak of Zohran, and the Beni Maledj of the Shat el Arab.”

“Timna - In Genesis 36:11, Eliphaz has no son Timna; but he has a concubine of the name, who is the mother of Amalek, and conjectured to be Lotan’s sister 1 Chronicles 1:39. The best explanation is, that the writer has in his mind rather the tribes descended from Eliphaz than his actual children, and as there was a place, Timna, inhabited by his “dukes” (1 Chronicles 1:51; compare Gen. 35:40), he puts the race which lived there among his “sons.” return to 'Top of Page'”

“Timna - There is another Timna, the concubine of Eliphaz, Gen 36:12, but this was one of his sons, though called by the same name; there being some names common both to men and women in the Hebrew and in other languages. 1 Chronicles 1:38”

“Teman: Ch1 1:53; Gen 36:11-15; Jer 49:7, Jer 49:20; Amo 1:12; Oba 1:9; Hab 3:3 Omar: i.e. eloquent, \[Strong's H201\], Gen 36:11 Zephi: i.e. expectations; watch thou, \[Strong's H6825\]. Gen 36:11, Gen 36:15; The various reading of צפי \[Strong's H6825\], Zephi, and צפו \[Strong's H6825\], Zepho, is caused simply by the mutation of the Hebrew letter י, yood, and ו, wav.
