Strong's Lexicon teman: Teman Original Word: תֵּימָן 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 Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew and the Old Testament context. Usage: In the Bible, "Teman" refers to both a person and a geographical location. As a person, Teman is a descendant of Esau, specifically the grandson of Esau through Eliphaz (Genesis 36:11). As a location, Teman is a region or city in Edom, often associated with wisdom and might (Jeremiah 49:7; Obadiah 1:9). Cultural and Historical Background: Teman was a significant city in the ancient kingdom of Edom, located south of the Dead Sea. The Edomites were descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother, and often had a tumultuous relationship with the Israelites. Teman was renowned for its wise men, and its mention in prophetic literature often symbolizes judgment against Edom. The region's strategic location made it an important center for trade and military activity.
