Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau

on Genesis 36:4-5

Five sons are born to Esau, and verse 5 says where, in the land of Canaan, just before he leaves it. Jerome notes that Eliphaz carries the name of the friend who speaks to Job, and Job's Eliphaz is a Temanite, which is the name of this Eliphaz's firstborn in verse 11. The link stands on the names alone.
