“And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.”
The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. Teman is the region associated with wise men — Eliphaz the Temanite in Job is from this line. The application: the wisdom tradition associated with Teman comes from Esau's grandson. The covenant narrative's connection to wisdom literature runs through Edom.
