    Description

    Teman in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Teman was a region and town in the land of Edom, named after Teman, the grandson of Esau (Gen. 36:11; 1Chr. 1:36). It was located in the northern part of Edom, possibly near modern-day Tawilan, east of Petra (Ezek. 25:13). Teman was known for its wisdom, and the Temanites were famous for their wise men (Jer. 49:7; Obad. 1:8-9). Eliphaz, one of Job's comforters, was from Teman (Job.2.11). The region is mentioned in prophecies of judgment against Edom (Jer. 49:20; Amo.1.12; Hab. 3:3). Teman was an important Edomite tribe, and its name was sometimes used as a synonym for Edom itself (Amo.1.12; Obad. 1:9).

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
