בראשית, פרק ל״ו, פסוק ל״ד

Following the death of Jobab, a new ruler named Husham rose to power. The primary approach among commentators is that Husham came from a territory that was named after an earlier historical figure. This region took its name from Teman, the firstborn son of Eliphaz, who served as one of the chiefs of Esau.
