Oholibamah
This name is of Hebrew origin, and it is significant in the genealogical records of Esau's descendants. Oholibamah was one of Esau's wives, a daughter of Anah, and a granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite. Her name means "tent of the high place," which may suggest a connection to worship or a place of significance. In the context of Esau's lineage, Oholibamah represents the integration of different tribal and cultural identities, as Esau's marriages to Canaanite women were a source of grief to his parents, Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 26:34-35). This highlights the theme of familial and cultural tensions that run throughout the Genesis narrative.

Elah
The name Elah is derived from the Hebrew word for "terebinth" or "oak," which are trees often associated with strength and endurance in the Bible. Elah is listed as one of the chiefs of Edom, a descendant of Esau. The terebinth tree is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as a place of significant events or divine encounters, such as the terebinth of Mamre where Abraham built an altar to the Lord (Genesis 13:18). The association of Elah with such a tree may symbolize the enduring legacy and strength of Esau's lineage, despite their separation from the covenantal promises given to Jacob.

Pinon
This name is less common and its meaning is not as clear as some of the other names in the genealogical lists. However, Pinon is identified as one of the chiefs of Edom, indicating a position of leadership and authority within the Edomite community. The mention of Pinon, along with other chiefs, underscores the organized and established nature of Esau's descendants, who became a significant nation in their own right. This reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations (Genesis 17:4), even as the primary covenantal blessings were passed through Isaac and Jacob.
