Strong's Lexicon Teman: Teman Original Word: תֵּימָן Part of Speech: proper name; masculine Transliteration: Teyman Pronunciation: tay-MAHN Phonetic Spelling: (tay-mawn') Definition: Teman Meaning: Teman means "south" or "southern region." It is also used as a proper noun referring to a person and a place. Word Origin: Derived from the root יָמִין (yamin), meaning "right hand" or "south." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Teman in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, references to Edom or its regions in the Septuagint may use Greek terms related to Edom or its geographical descriptions. Usage: Teman is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to both a descendant of Esau and a region in Edom. It appears in various contexts, including genealogies and prophetic literature. Context: • Genealogical Reference: Teman is listed as a grandson of Esau through Eliphaz, Esau's son, in Genesis 36:11, 15, 42. This indicates Teman as a clan or tribal leader within the Edomite lineage. • Geographical Location: The region of Teman is associated with the southern part of Edom, known for its wisdom and might. It is frequently mentioned in prophetic books, often symbolizing the strength and wisdom of Edom. For example, in Jeremiah 49:7, the prophet questions, "Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?" indicating its reputation for wisdom. • Prophetic Context: Teman is mentioned in the context of divine judgment against Edom. In Obadiah 1:9, it is written, "Your warriors, O Teman, will be terrified, so that everyone in the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter." This highlights the impending doom and the fall of Edom's power. • Cultural Significance: The mention of Teman in the Bible underscores the historical and cultural significance of Edom as a neighboring nation to Israel. It reflects the complex relationships and conflicts between the Israelites and the Edomites.
