   ›Commentary on Genesis 25:152 voices

   “Hadar and Tema,....

   “Hadar - This name should be read Hadad as in 1Ch 1:30. This reading is supported by more than three hundred MSS., versions, and printed editions. See Clarke at Gen 25:18 (note). Tema - Supposed to be a place in Arabia Deserta, the same of which Job speaks, Job 6:19. Jetur - From whom came the Itureans, who occupied a small tract of country beyond Jordan, which was afterwards possessed by the half-tribe of Manasseh.

2. 1 Chronicles 1:30

   Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema,

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:301 voice

   “Hadad here and in 1Ch 1:50 is the well-known Syrian name, of which Hadar (margin) is an accidental corruption, consequent on the close resemblance between “d” (daleth) and “r” (resh) in Hebrew, the final letters of the two names.

3. Job 6:19

   The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.

   ›Commentary on Job 6:192 voices

   “Consider the paths of Tema, the ways of Sheba, and wait a little while. But we are more effectually withheld from imitating the wicked, if we calculate their losses by the end. Whence it is well added even with a charge, Consider the paths of Tema, the ways of Sheba, and wait a little while. For Tema is rendered 'the south wind,' and Sheba 'a net.'

   “The troops of Tema looked,....

4. Isaiah 21:14

   Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food.

   ›Commentary on Isaiah 21:142 voices

   “The inhabitants of the land of Tema,.... This country had its name from Tema, one of the sons of Ishmael, Gen 25:15. The Targum calls it the land of the south, as if it was Teman.

   “The land of Tema “The southern country” - Θαιμαν, Sept.; Austri, Vulg. They read תימן teiman, which seems to be right; for probably the inhabitants of Tema might be involved in the same calamity with their brethren and neighbors of Kedar, and not in a condition to give them assistance, and to relieve them, in their flight before the enemy, with bread and water.

5. Jeremiah 25:23

   Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;

   ›Commentary on Jeremiah 25:232 voices

   “(Verse 23.) And Dedan, and Teman, and Buz, and all who have their hair cut short. These are the nations that live in solitude, near and mixed with the regions of the Ishmaelites, whom they now call Saracens, and of whom it is said: those who have their hair cut short.

   “Dedan, and Tema, and Buz,.... These seem to be places in Edom or Idumea, of whose destruction Jeremiah prophesies in Jer 49:7; or rather in Arabia and Mesopotamia. Jerom reckons them among the Ishmaelites and Saracens, The persons from whom they descended are mentioned in Gen 22:21; and all that are in the utmost corners; that is, either of the above countries, or of the whole earth: or "all that had their hair shorn" (m); or the corners of their beards; which Jerom says is applicable to the Saracens.
