Eliphaz — 'God is fine gold,' name of Esau's firstborn son and Job's chief counselor
Eliphaz (possibly 'God is fine gold') is shared by two prominent figures. The first is Esau's firstborn by Adah, whose descendants became Edomite chiefs (Gen 36:4-16; 1 Chr 1:35-36). The second is Eliphaz the Temanite, Job's senior friend, who delivers three speech cycles (Job 4-5; 15; 22) arguing that suffering implies hidden sin. God's rebuke falls specifically on Eliphaz and his companions (Job 42:7, 9). Notably, Teman was Edomite territory, suggesting the Joban Eliphaz may descend from the Esauite one. Spanish 'Elifaz,' French 'Eliphaz,' and German 'Elifas' transliterate consistently.
