TEMAN (Place)
In the prophetic writings, Teman seems to have been considered the principal city of Edom and is often used as a poetic parallel for the entire land of Edom (Jer 49:7, 20; Am 1:12; Ob 1:9). Since Teman means “south,” it is likely that Teman was located in the far south of Edom; however, its precise location remains unknown. The residents of Teman were evidently well known for their wisdom (Jer 49:7; Ob 1:9). This reputation may well derive from Eliphaz the Temanite, who was one of Job’s counselors (Jb 2:11, 4:1; 15:1; 22:1; 42:7-9).
