Is Timna a male or a female? | Date: May 9, 2006 By: Adam Engesath 31 Problems29 Solutions | References | | 1 Chronicles 1:36 The sons of Eliphaz; Teman, and Omar, Zephi, and Gatam, Kenaz, and Timna, and Amalek. | | Genesis 36:12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife. | | Thy Word is True...Solution! | | Date: May 9, 2006 | Posted By: Adam Engesath | Apparently, Eliphaz named one of his sons after his concubine. This may sound weird, but there are plenty of names used today that can be used for both a boy and a girl:
- Chris
- Gene
- Dana
- Terry
- Jamie
- Pat
There are many others, but I think you get the point. Even though Timna isn't very popular today, this scenario wouldn't be any different than if a man had a wife named Chris, and then named his son Chris also. | | Post a solution! |
