 Eliphaz
    God his strength. (1.) One of Job's "three friends" who visited
    him in his affliction (4:1). He was a "Temanite", i.e., a native
    of Teman, in Idumea. He first enters into debate with Job. His
    language is uniformly more delicate and gentle than that of the
    other two, although he imputes to Job special sins as the cause
    of his present sufferings. He states with remarkable force of
    language the infinite purity and majesty of God (4:12-21;
    15:12-16).
      (2.) The son of Esau by his wife Adah, and father of several
    Edomitish tribes (Gen. 36:4, 10, 11, 16).
