Edom
Edom (; Edomite language, Edomite: ; , lit.: "red"; Akkadian language, Akkadian: , ; Egyptian language, Ancient Egyptian: ) was an ancient kingdom that stretched across areas in the south of present-day Jordan and Israel. Edom and the Edomites appear in several written sources relating to the late Bronze Age and to the Iron Age in the History of the ancient Levant, Levant, including the list of the New Kingdom of Egypt, Egyptian pharaoh Seti I from c. 1215 BC as well as in the chronicle of a campaign by Ramesses III (r. 1186–1155 BC), and the Tanakh.

Oholibamah
Aholibamah (Hebrew: ''ʾĀhŏlīḇāmā''; "My tabernacle of/is height/exaltation" or "Tent of the High Place"Phillips, J. ''Exploring Genesis: an expository commentary'', (, ), 2001, p. 284), is an eight-time referenced matriarch in the biblical record. Aholibamah was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite, son of Seir the Horite. She was one of two Canaanite women who married Esau, the son of Isaac, when he was in his forties. Isaac and his wife Rebecca, however, were greatly opposed to this union. So, according to some Biblical scholars, Esau changed her name to the Hebrew name "Judith", as to pacify his parents. See Wives of Esau. Biblical scholars have thus conciliated the two different name accounts given in Genesis for the three wives of Esau: * Basemath (Genesis 26:34–35) = Adah (Genesis 36:2,3), the daughter of Elon the Hittite; * Judith (Genesis 26:34–35) = Aholibamah (Genesis 36:2,3), also a Canaanite; * Mahalath (Genesis 28:9) = Bashemath ...

Book Of Job
The Book of Job (), or simply Job, is a book found in the Ketuvim ("Writings") section of the Hebrew Bible and the first of the Poetic Books in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The language of the Book of Job, combining post-Babylonian Hebrew and Aramaic influences, indicates it was composed during the Persian period (540-330 BCE), with the poet using Hebrew in a learned, literary manner. It addresses the problem of evil, providing a theodicy through the experiences of the eponymous protagonist. Job is a wealthy God-fearing man with a comfortable life and a large family. God discusses Job's piety with Satan (). Satan rebukes God, stating that Job would turn away from God if he were to lose everything within his possession. God decides to test that theory by allowing Satan to inflict pain on Job. The rest of the book deals with Job's suffering and him successfully defending himself against his unsympathetic friends, whom God admonishes, and God's sovereignty over na ...

Korah (son Of Esau)
Korah or Kórach (), son of Esau, is an individual who is described in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. Life According to the Book of Genesis , Korah was the son of Esau and Aholibamah, and had two brothers, Jeush and Jaalam. has Korah's mother, Aholibamah, being the daughter of Anah, and granddaughter of Zibeon, making Zibeon Korah's maternal great-grandfather. The same verse repeats Genesis 36:5 and names his two brothers again. Anah in Genesis 36:2,14,18,25 mentioned above is the same as the Anah, the son of Zibeon in verse 24. In verses 2 and 14 it says, "Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite." Some are confused with this wording and believe that it is saying that Anah is a daughter of Zibeon. In verse 24 it clearly says that Zibeon's two sons were Ajah and Anah. Since the original text does not have a literal word for "granddaughter", the word ''bat'' ("daughter") was used in both cases. But this sentence states that Aholibamah is the d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Judith (Hebrew Bible)
Esau is the elder son of Isaac in the Hebrew Bible. He is mentioned in the Book of Genesis and by the prophets Obadiah and Malachi. The story of Jacob and Esau reflects the historical relationship between Israel and Edom, aiming to explain why Israel, despite being a younger kingdom, dominated Edom. The Christian New Testament alludes to him in the Epistle to the Romans and in the Epistle to the Hebrews. According to the Hebrew Bible, Esau is the progenitor of the Edomites and the elder brother of Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites.Metzger & Coogan (1993). ''Oxford Companion to the Bible'', pp. 191–92. Jacob and Esau were the sons of Isaac and Rebecca, and the grandsons of Abraham and Sarah. Of the twins, Esau was the first to be born with Jacob following, holding his heel. Isaac was sixty years old when the boys were born. Esau, a "man of the field", became a hunter who had "rough" qualities that distinguished him from his twin brother. Among these qualities were his red ...

Zibeon
Zibeon ( Heb. צבעוֹן, ''Tsibon''': 'dyed' ( Gesen.) or 'robber' (Fürst); Sept. Σεβεγών; Vulg. ''Sebeon'') is one or perhaps two biblical figures mentioned in the Book of Genesis and the First Book of Chronicles.Smith 1881, p. 1091. According to the Book of Genesis, Zibeon was the father of Anah, whose daughter Aholibamah was Esau's wife, Gen. 36:2. before 1963 BC according to the Ussher chronology. Although called a Hivite, he may be the same as Zibeon the son of Seir the Horite who is mentioned in the First Book of Chronicles, with Horite signifying 'cave-dweller' and Hivite being the name of his tribe, for nothing is known of any race of the Troglodytes; or perhaps הִחַוַּי ('the Hivite') is a mis-transcription for הִחֹרַי ('the Horite'). Another difficulty connected with this Zibeon is that Anah in Genesis is called his daughter, and his son;Gen. 36:24. but this difficulty may perhaps be explained by supposing that בת refers to Aholibamah, ...

Beeri
There are two biblical figures named Beeri. The etymology of Beeri (, ''Bə’êrî'') is given as "belonging to a fountain" by Wilhelm Gesenius, but as "expounder" by the ''International Standard Bible Encyclopedia'' and "well" according to the ''Holman Bible Dictionary''. According to the Book of Hosea, Beeri was the father of the prophet Hosea. Jewish tradition says that he only uttered a few words of prophecy, and as they were insufficient to be embodied in a book by themselves, they were incorporated in the Book of Isaiah, viz., verses 19 and 20 of the 8th chapter. As such, Beeri is considered a prophet in Judaism. Beeri was sometimes identified with Beerah (1 Chronicles 5:6), who was taken into exile by the Assyrians.''Babylonian Talmud'', tractate Peshahim 87b, and tractate Baba Batra 14b He is also considered holy by Muslims. The other Beeri was the father of Judith, one of the wives of Esau Esau is the elder son of Isaac in the Hebrew Bible. He is mentioned in th ...
