Who they were

The name “chief Timna” stands first in the list of “the chiefs who came from Esau, according to their families, after their places, and by their names” (Genesis 36:40), which 1 Chronicles repeats as “The chiefs of Edom” (1 Chronicles 1:51). Since the chiefs are listed by their places as well as their names, the name may be that of a clan or district. Scripture does not say whether this chief was connected with Timna, the concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz (Genesis 36:12), and it tells nothing more about this chief.
