Strong's Lexicon Timna: Timna Original Word: תִּמְנַע Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַן (taman), meaning "to restrain" or "to withhold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Timna in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. Usage: Timna is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to both a person and a location. As a person, Timna is identified as a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and the mother of Amalek (Genesis 36:12). As a location, Timna refers to a region or city in the southern part of ancient Israel, associated with the Edomites and later the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical narrative, Timna is significant both as a person and a place. As a person, Timna's connection to Esau's lineage through Eliphaz and Amalek highlights the complex familial relationships that characterize the patriarchal narratives. The Amalekites, descendants of Amalek, are frequently depicted as adversaries of Israel. As a location, Timna is noted for its copper mines, which were of economic importance in the ancient Near East. The region's association with Edom reflects the historical tensions between the Israelites and the Edomites.
