Aholibamah

Person Name

Name meaning: "my tabernacle is exalted"

Aholibamah, meaning tent of the high place or my tabernacle is exalted, is the name given to Judith, one of the wives of Esau and a daughter of Anah the Hivite. She is listed in Genesis 36 as the mother of three of Esau's sons — Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah — who became chiefs (dukes) of Edom. The same passage also lists an Aholibamah among the Edomite chiefs, likely a descendant bearing the same name who lent it to a clan or territory. Her Canaanite origin, noted at Genesis 26:34–35 under the name Judith, caused grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
