Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(desert). Oldest son of Eliphaz, and grandson of Esau (Gen. 36:11). Also the tribe and country of Temani or Temanites, in Edom (Jer. 49:7; Ezek. 25:13; Amos 1:12; Obad. 9; Hab. 3:3).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Son of Eliphaz, a son of Esau, and a duke of Edom; also his descendants and the district inhabited by them. It is four times connected with Edom, and twice with Dedan: this associates it with the south. Its wisdom is spoken of, and God’s judgments are pronounced upon it. One of Job’s friends was Eliphaz the Temanite (Gen. 36:11,15,34,42; 1 Chron. 1:36,45,53; Job 2:11; Jer. 49:7, 20; Ezek. 25:13; Amos 1:12; Obad. 9; Hab. 3, in the margin “south”). Not identified.
