Verse 7
Teman (lit. south), a town in Edom about halfway between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqabah, was famous for the wisdom of its inhabitants (cf. Job 2:11; Obadiah 1:9). [Note: Thompson, p. 721.] Yet the Edomites had not behaved wisely. The name of this town was a poetic equivalent for the whole nation (cf. Habakkuk 3:3), and it came from one of Esau’s grandsons (Genesis 36:11).
