Chapa 2. An Expofition upon theBookof J O B. Verf. ii. 3o; Efaw,andEliphaz begat Teman.This Teman,defcending from Efau, is fuppofed to be theFather or the Anceflor of this Eliphaz, from whomhe iscalled Eliphaz the Ternánite,and fo Temanite, is a note of the Family from whenceEliphazdefcended.It is ufual likewire in Scripture, to give fuch additional names from the Countries or Jer. 49. 20. places, and foEliphaz theTemanite, may be fromTeman,ofwhich Amos,. 12. we read often in Scripture ; Teman fignifies the South, It was a obad. g.

Now it.is faid, that thefe three, upon the report of all theevil that was come.upon Job, came to vift nim; for they hadmade an appointment together to come, or they -all agreed. together ; they came not by accident, but by appointment.
