Aholibamah

Aholibamah (Hebrew: אָהֳלִיבָמָה‎ ʾĀhŏlīḇāmā; "My tabernacle of/is height/exaltation" or "Tent of the High Place"[1]), is an eight-time referenced matriarch in the biblical record.[2]

 

Aholibamah (a descendant of Ishmael) was the daughter of Anah of Zibeon the Hivite. Her maternal grandfather was Zibeon the Hivite, son of Seir the Horite.[3] She was one of two Canaanite women who married Esau, the son of Isaac, when he was in his forties. Isaac and his wife Rebecca, however, were greatly opposed to this union.[4] So, according to some Biblical scholars, Esau changed her name to the Hebrew name "Judith", as to pacify his parents.[5]

 

Biblical scholars have thus conciliated the two different name accounts given in Genesis for the three wives of Esau:

Mount Seir (Hebrew: הַר-שֵׂעִיר, Har Sēʿīr) is the ancient and biblical name for a mountainous region stretching between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba in the northwestern region of Edom and southeast of the Kingdom of Judah. It may also have marked the older historical limit of Ancient Egypt in Canaan.[1] A place called "Seir, in the land of Shasu" (ta-Shasu se`er, t3-sh3sw s`r), thought to be near Petra, Jordan, is listed in the temple of Amenhotep III at Soleb (ca. 1380 BC).[citation needed]

 

The modern Arabic equivalent is thought to be Jibal ash-Sharah (Arabic: جبال الشراة, romanized: Jibāl ash-Sharāh, lit. 'Mountains of Sharāh') in Jordan.[citation needed]
