Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Alian: i.e. lofty, [Strong's H5935]. Both these variations are also caused by the mutation of י yood and ו wav; the former being written עלון [Strong's H5935], Alvan, and עלין [Strong's H5935], Alian; and the latter, שפו [Strong's H8195], Shepho, and שפי [Strong's H8195], Shephi. Genesis 36:23, Alvan, Shepho

Shephi: i.e. my bareness; my prominence, [Strong's H8195]. שפי.

Aiah: The difference here is only in the translation; the original being uniformly איה [Strong's H345], Aiyah. Genesis 36:24, Ajah.
