Definition: Timna
Meaning: Timna is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with a female figure and a geographical location.

Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַן (H8552), which means "to restrain" or "to withhold."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Timna, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The name Timna appears in the Hebrew Bible as both a person and a place. As a person, Timna is mentioned as a concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau, and the mother of Amalek. As a place, Timna is referenced as a location in the hill country of Edom.

Context: • Timna as a Person: Timna is introduced in the genealogical records of Esau's descendants. She is described as a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and the mother of Amalek. This connection places her within the Edomite lineage, as seen in Genesis 36:12: "Additionally, Timna, a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah." (BSB)
• Timna as a Place: The geographical location of Timna is mentioned in the context of the Edomite territory. It is identified as a district or city in the hill country of Edom, known for its copper mines. The site is historically significant and is referenced in Genesis 36:40-43, where it is listed among the chiefs of Edom: "These are the names of Esau’s chiefs, according to their families and regions, by their names: Chief Timna, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth..." (BSB)
