Aholibamah (אָהֳלִיבָמָה "My tabernacle of/is height/exaltation", Standard HebrewOholivama, Tiberian HebrewʾOhŏlḇāmāh), the name given to Judith, the daughter of Beeri = Anah (Gen. 26:34; 36:2), when she became the wife of Esau. A district among the mountains of Edom, probably near Mount Hor, was called after her name, or it may be that she received her name from the district. From her descended three tribes of Edomites, founded by her three sons.
Aholibamah means tent of the high place.” She was the daughter of Anah afflicted: answered, and she in turn was the daughter of Zibeon versicolor: dyer: hyena?
In our study of verse two we have already considered the meanings of Aholibamah, Anah and Zibeon, and in verse five we have looked at the meanings of the names of her three sons, so there is no need to repeat them here.
We have also considered the meaning of Aholibamah, so it remains only to note that she is not to be confused with the woman of the same name in verse two who became Esau’s wife, nor with the man of the same name in verse forty-one.
