TEMAN.A tribe (and district) of Edom, whose importance is indicated by its eponym being the eldest son of the eldest son (Eliphaz) of Esau (Gen_36:11; Gen_36:15; cf. Gen_36:42), and by its being taken along with Bozrah (wh. see) to represent the whole land of Edom (Amo_1:12; cf. Oba_1:9). Eze_25:13 implies that Edom stretches from Teman to Dedan, from which we infer that the former lay in the north-east of the territory claimed by Edom, that is, to the S.E. of Moab. Its inhabitants were renowned for wisdom (Jer_49:7), and the chief of Jobs counsellors was Eliphaz the Temanite (Job_2:11).

("on the right".) So south to one facing east. Son of Eliphaz, Esau's son (Gen_36:11); a duke of Edom. The southern part of Idumea. Habakkuk (Hab_3:3) confirms this southern position, from which as the starting point in the region of Mount Paran the Holy One's coming is northwards. Eze_25:13 translated "I will make it desolate from Teman (in the S.) ever, to Dedan (in the N.W.); they shall fall by the sword," i.e. the whole land of Edom. Famed for wisdom: Jer_49:8, "is wisdom no more in Teman?" etc.; compare 1Ki_4:30, and for "mighty men" Oba_1:8-9. Eliphaz the Temanite is mentioned as a wise man in Job_2:11; Job_22:1. Eusebius and Jerome mention Teman as a town 15 miles from Petra, and a Roman post.

Te'man. (the south).
1. A son of Eliphaz, son of Esau, by Adah. Gen_36:11; Gen_36:15; Gen_36:41; 1Ch_1:36; 1Ch_1:53. (B.C. about 1792).
2. A country, and probably, a city, named after the Edomite phylarch, or from which the phylarch took his name. The Hebrew signifies "south", etc., see Job_9:9; Isa_43:6. And it is probable that the land of Teman was a southern portion of the land of Edom, or, in a wider sense, that of the sons of the east. Teman is mentioned in five places by the prophets, in four of which, it is connected with Edom, and in two with Dedan. Jer_49:7-8; Eze_25:13. Eusebius and Jerome mention Teman as a town, in their day, 15 miles distant from Petra, and a Roman post.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
tē?man (תּמן, tēmān, ?on the right,? i.e. ?south?; Θαιμάν, Thaimán): The name of a district and town in the land of Edom, named after Teman the grandson of Esau, the son of his firstborn, Eliphaz (Gen_36:11; 1Ch_1:36). A duke Teman is named among the chiefs or clans of Edom (Gen_36:42; 1Ch_1:53). He does not however appear first, in the place of the firstborn. Husham of the land of the Temanites was one of the ancient kings of Edom (Gen_36:34; 1Ch_1:45). From Oba_1:9 we gather that Teman was in the land of Esau (Edom). In Amo_1:12 it is named along with Bozrah, the capital of Edom. In Eze_25:13 desolation is denounced upon Edom: ?From Teman even unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword.? Dedan being in the South, Teman must be sought in the North Eusebius, Onomasticon knows a district in the Gebalene region called Theman, and also a town with the same name, occupied by a Roman garrison, 15 miles from Petra. Unfortunately no indication of direction is given. No trace of the name has yet been found. It may have been on the road from Elath to Bozrah.
The inhabitants of Teman seem to have been famous for their wisdom (Jer_49:7; Oba_1:8 f). Eliphaz the Temanite was chief of the comforters of Job (Job_2:11, etc.). The manner in which the city is mentioned by the prophets, now by itself, and again as standing for Edom, shows how important it must have been in their time.

Te?man, a grandson of Esau (Gen_36:11; Gen_36:15); also a city, region, and people on the east of Idumea sprung from him (Gen_36:42; Jer_49:7; Eze_25:13; Amo_1:11-12; Oba_1:9). Like other Arabs (1Ki_5:12), the Temanites were celebrated for wisdom (Jer_49:7; Bar_3:22-23; comp. Job_2:11; Job_22:1).
