And Adah bare unto Esau, Eliphaz: and Basemath bare Reuel:

The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zephi, Gatam, Kenaz, Timna and Amalek.

Now when Job's friends heard of all the trouble that happened to him, there came three of them, every one from his own place: namely, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they were agreed together to come, to shew their compassion on him, and to comfort him.

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite and said unto him,

"Upon the Edomites hath the LORD of Hosts spoken on this manner: Is there no wisdom in Tema? Is there no more good counsel among his people? Is their wisdom then turned clean to naught?

therefore thus sayeth the LORD: I will reach out mine hand upon Edom, and take away man and beast out of it. From Teman unto Dedan will I make it desolate; they shall be slain with the sword.

Therefore will I send a fire into Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.'

Thy giants, O Teman, shall be afraid, for through the slaughter they shall be all overthrown upon the mount of Esau.

God cometh from Teman, and the holy one from the mount of Paran. Selah.
