Eliphaz (Hebrew: אֱלִיפָז ’Ělīp̄āz, "El is pure gold") is called a Temanite (Job 4:1). He is one of the friends or comforters of Job in the Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible. The first of the three visitors to Job (Job 2:11), he was said to have come from Teman, an important city of Edom (Amos 1:12; Obadiah 9. Thus Eliphaz appears as the representative of the wisdom of the Edomites, which, according to Obadiah 8, Jeremiah 49:7, and Baruch 3:22, was famous in antiquity. As an alternative to the interpretation "El is pure gold", or "My God is pure gold", it has also been suggested that the name might mean something along the lines of "My God is separate" or "My God is remote".
