Oholibamah — a wife of Esau and an Edomite clan chief, meaning 'tent of the high place'
Oholibamah (meaning 'tent of the high place') appears exclusively in the Esau genealogies of Genesis 36 and 1 Chronicles 1. She is identified as the daughter of Anah and wife of Esau, through whom several Edomite clans traced their lineage. The name may also designate an Edomite chief or clan. Cross-language renderings are remarkably consistent — English 'Oholibamah,' Spanish 'Oholibama,' French and German similarly preserving the Hebrew form — reflecting the standard treatment of proper names in translation.
