The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zephi, Gatam, Kenaz, Timna, and Amalek.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 36. And by. This serves to explain the difficulty; as Thamna would otherwise seem to be a daughter of Eliphaz, though we know she was his concubine. Genesis 36:12. Bible.—The Heb., Rom. Septuagint Syr., and Latin, suppose that Thamna was the brother of Amalec; but the Alex. Septuagint has, “Now Thamna, the concubine of Eliphaz, bore Amalec.” Arab. “And Thamna, who was the concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau, bore him Amalec,” which seems to be the true reading. Kennicott.—Hebrew “And Timna and Amalek,” (Prot. Bible.) which confounds the sense. Mariana. D.
