Bible Verse Review

Teman: 1 Chronicles 1:53, Genesis 36:11-15, Jeremiah 49:7, Jeremiah 49:20, Amos 1:12, Obadiah 1:9, Habakkuk 3:3

Omar: i.e. eloquent, [Strong's H201], Genesis 36:11

Zephi: i.e. expectations; watch thou, [Strong's H6825]. Genesis 36:11, Genesis 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. Genesis 36:15, Zepho

Reciprocal: Genesis 36:12 - Timna 1 Chronicles 1:45 - Temanites

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.”
