Berean 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 the Hebrew context. Usage: Teman is a name used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to both a person and a region. As a person, Teman is a descendant of Esau, the son of Eliphaz, and a chief of the Edomites (Genesis 36:11, 15). As a region, Teman refers to a district in Edom, known for its wise men (Jeremiah 49:7) and its geographical location in the southern part of Edom. Cultural and Historical Background: Teman was a significant region in Edom, a nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother. The Edomites were often in conflict with Israel, and Teman was known for its wisdom and might. The region's name, meaning "south," reflects its geographical position relative to Israel. Teman's reputation for wisdom is highlighted in the book of Obadiah and Jeremiah, where the wisdom of its inhabitants is noted.
