Oholibamah

In the list of “the names of the chiefs who came from Esau, according to their families, after their places, and by their names” (Genesis 36:40), the line continues, “chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon” (Genesis 36:41); the Chronicler repeats it (1 Chronicles 1:52). “These are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites” (Genesis 36:43). The name is the same as that of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah (Genesis 36:2); the text does not say how the chief is connected with her.
