El'iphaz. (God is his strength).
1. The son of Esau and Adah, and the father of Teman. Genesis 36:4; 1 Chronicles 1:35-36.
2. The chief of the "three friends" of Job. He is called "the Temanite;" hence, it is naturally inferred that, he was a descendant of Teman. On him, falls the main burden of the argument, that God's retribution in this world is perfect and certain, and that, consequently, suffering must be a proof of previous sin. Job 4; Job 5; Job 15; Job 22. The great truth brought out by him is the unapproachable majesty and purity of God. Job 4:12-21; Job 15:12-16. See Job; Job, The Book of.
