Jobab Ben Zerah
Jobab ben Zerah ( ''Yōḇāḇ ben-Zerah'') was a king of ancient Edom, according to Genesis 36. He succeeded Bela ben Beor in the apparently elective kingship of the Edomites. He ruled from Bozrah. He was succeeded by Husham. Jobab has traditionally often been identified with the biblical figure Job. Job was said to live in the " land of Uz", which was where Edom was located. Job was one of the wealthiest people in the world, and this wealth could easily be explained with his status as royalty. The book of Jasher stated that the Edomites had disallowed themselves from choosing a descendant of Esau for kingship. Jobab began to reign after Bela's 30-year rule. Identity as Job The Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, identifies Job as Jobab. Also, the oldest English-language Catholic Bible, the Douay-Rheims, identifies Job as Jobab. The Challoner Revision of the Douay-Rheims speculates that Job could have written the book of Job, but the original 1610 Douay ...

Bible
The Bible is a collection of religious texts that are central to Christianity and Judaism, and esteemed in other Abrahamic religions such as Islam. The Bible is an anthology (a compilation of texts of a variety of forms) originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. The texts include instructions, stories, poetry, prophecies, and other genres. The collection of materials accepted as part of the Bible by a particular religious tradition or community is called a biblical canon. Believers generally consider it to be a product of divine inspiration, but the way they understand what that means and interpret the text varies. The religious texts were compiled by different religious communities into various official collections. The earliest contained the first five books of the Bible, called the Torah in Hebrew and the Pentateuch (meaning 'five books') in Greek. The second-oldest part was a collection of narrative histories and prophecies (the Nevi'im). The third co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Teman (Edom)
Teman (), was the name of an Edomite clan and of its eponym, according to the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 36:11–43. The term means "south" and was later applied to Yemen due to its location at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, so Yemenite Jews are called ''Temanim'' in Modern Hebrew. The Arabic name ''Yaman'' is from the same Semitic root. In Genesis 36:15, Teman is a son of Eliphaz, Esau's eldest son. Job's friend Eliphaz is descended from Teman in Job 2:11. In Kuntillet Ajrud inscription The Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions in the Sinai Peninsula, dated to the 9th century BCE, use ''Tēmān'' as a place name. ''brktk lyhwh tmn wlʾšrth'' I bless you to Yahweh of Teman and his asherah It is unclear if "his asherah" refers directly to Asherah, the consort of Yahweh, or to the ritual items known as asherah poles.
