("on the right".) So south to one facing east. Son of Eliphaz, Esau's son (Ge 36:11); a duke of Edom. The southern part of Idumea. Habakkuk (Hab 3:3) confirms this southern position, from which as the starting point in the region of Mount Paran the Holy One's coming is northwards. Eze 25:13 translated "I will make it desolate from Teman (in the S.) ever, to Dedan (in the N.W.); they shall fall by the sword," i.e. the whole land of Edom. Famed for wisdom: Jer 49:8, "is wisdom no more in Teman?" etc.; compare 1Ki 4:30, and for "mighty men" Ob 1:8-9. Eliphaz the Temanite is mentioned as a wise man in Job 2:11; 22:1. Eusebius and Jerome mention Teman as a town 15 miles from Petra, and a Roman post.

Hastings
A tribe (and district) of Edom, whose importance is indicated by its eponym being the eldest son of the eldest son (Eliphaz) of Esau (Ge 36:11,15; cf. Ge 36:42), and by its being taken along with Bozrah (wh. see) to represent the whole land of Edom (Am 1:12; cf. Ob 1:9). Eze 25:13 implies that Edom stretches from Teman to Dedan, from which we infer that the former lay in the north-east of the territory claimed by Edom, that is, to the S.E. of Moab. Its inhabitants were renowned for wisdom (Jer 49:7), and the chief of Job's counsellors was Eliphaz 'the Temanite' (Job 2:11).
