However, the name may appear transliterated in Greek texts or Septuagint versions as Ἐλιφάς (Eliphas). Usage: Eliphaz is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name. Context: Eliphaz is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, appearing primarily in the Book of Job. He is one of Job's three friends who come to comfort him during his time of suffering. Eliphaz is identified as a Temanite, suggesting he is from the region of Teman, which is associated with Edom. In the dialogues within the Book of Job, Eliphaz is the first to speak, offering his perspective on Job's suffering. He emphasizes the traditional belief that suffering is a result of sin and urges Job to repent. Eliphaz's speeches are characterized by a mix of wisdom and reproof, reflecting the ancient wisdom tradition. His arguments are met with responses from Job, who maintains his innocence and challenges the simplistic correlation between sin and suffering. Eliphaz's role in the narrative serves to explore themes of divine justice, human suffering, and the complexity of God's ways. In addition to his role in the Book of Job, Eliphaz is also mentioned in the genealogies of Esau in the Book of Genesis. He is listed as the eldest son of Esau and Adah, and the father of several Edomite chiefs, indicating his significance in the lineage of Edom (Genesis 36:4, 10-11).
